Initial Thoughts
Ridgeline Lantz, cultivated by Alt Sol and currently available at Takoma Wellness Center, exudes an impressive pedigree. With its origins rooted in the famed Emerald Triangle, this hybrid strain—a cross of Green Lantern and Ridgeline Runtz—has gained recognition for its captivating flavor profile and euphoric effects. Known for its accolades, including a first-place win at the 2023 Emerald Cup, this strain offers a premium cannabis experience that demands connoisseur level attention.
Appearance
Ridgeline Lantz features dense, trichome-coated buds that glisten under the light. The purple undertones peeking through deep green foliage are complemented by vibrant orange hairs, creating a gorgeously exotic looking flower. The texture is sticky and resinous, indicative of its potency and care in cultivation.
Status
Fresh.
Aroma
Breaking open a nug of Ridgeline Lantz is like stepping into a forest of pine trees while holding a bag of sweet, tangy candy. The aroma combines earthy pine notes with a sugary sweetness that makes your senses tingle. There’s also a subtle, creamy undertone that rounds out the scent profile, making it both refreshing and comforting.
Flavor
On the palate, Ridgeline Lantz is a uniquely delectable experience much like a refined, high-end Gelato varietal. The candy-like sweetness comes through prominently on the inhale, with hints of kushy richness and a slightly creamy aftertaste. As you exhale, the piney earthiness adds another layer of complexity, creating an exceptionally delicious flavor that lingers with each hit.
Lineage
Ridgeline Lantz is a hybrid strain bred by Ridgeline Farms, crossing Green Lantern with Ridgeline Runtz. This combination blends the tangy, sweet terpenes of Green Lantern with the creamy, fruity profile of Ridgeline Runtz, resulting in a unique and award-winning strain. Some would call this indica leaning in nature, but I personally found the effects extremely balanced.
Effects
Ridgeline Lantz provides a euphoric and relaxing full-body high, making it an ideal choice for afternoon or evening use. The effects begin with a sense of mental clarity and uplifted mood, eventually transitioning into a calming body high that eases tension and stress. Many users report feeling hungry and deeply relaxed, making this strain a good companion for a cozy night in or a stationary creative project.
Conclusion
Alt Sol's version of Cookies' Ridgeline Lantz delivers a balanced hybrid experience that combines sweet and earthy flavors with euphoric and relaxing effects. Perfect for winding down after a long day or sharing with friends in a relaxed setting, this harvest exemplifies why the strain earned accolades at the 2023 Emerald Cup. Whether you're drawn to its award-winning pedigree or its unique terpene profile, Ridgeline Lantz provides a premium cannabis experience that’s as enjoyable to smell and taste as it is to feel.
