Peak Harvest's 25 CitrusQuest Flower Review | AusCannaReviews
Peak Harvest’s 25 CitrusQuest is the cultivar Banjo, a 25% THC balanced hybrid medicinal cannabis flower. Grown indoors in Canada, under artificial light, in a coco coir mix CitrusQuest is a cross between Boost and Tangelo. CitrusQuest’s dominant terpenes are Myrcene, Limonene, Farnesene, Ocimene, and Caryophyllene.
Boost is a cross of Blueberry and Sweet Tooth. Its aroma is a sweet, fruity blend with strong blueberry notes and subtle hints of candy-like sweetness, thanks to its rich terpene profile dominated by Myrcene, Ocimene, and Caryophyllene. When vaped Boost delivers a smooth and sweet taste, reminiscent of fresh berries with a touch of earthy undertones. Medically, this cultivar is known for its uplifting and mood-enhancing effects, making it a popular choice with patients in the US seeking relief from stress, anxiety, and mild depression. Additionally, its relaxing properties are said to ease muscle tension and chronic pain without causing heavy sedation.
Tangelo is the result of crossing Tangerine Sunrise and Gorkle. The cultivar’s aroma is a bright, tangy blend of fresh tangerines with a touch of earthy sweetness, driven by a terpene profile rich in Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Myrcene. Regarding flavour, Tangelo delivers a zesty citrus taste, complemented by subtle herbal and pine notes. Tangelo is celebrated for its uplifting and energizing effects. Its clear-headed euphoria also makes it a favourite among patients in the US seeking relief from stress, anxiety and depression without heavy sedation.
Review
Opening my 10-gram tub of Peak Harvest’s 25 CitrusQuest (batch B029) I’m greeted with the aroma of sweet tropical fruit with subtle hints of pine and funky cheese.
The small to medium-sized buds were olive green with the occasional darker green leaf and a touch of purple mixed in. They had a thick coating of trichomes and a decent sprinkle of orange pistils.
CitrusQuest’s buds are dense, with a satisfying bounce back when squeezed. They fluff up well after grinding but lack any real kinetic sand characteristics, failing my Sticky Icky Test.
Starting at 175C Peak Harvest’s CitrusQuest is a smooth complex blend of sweetness with a savoury undertone. On the inhale, I immediately taste sweet tropical fruit, almost like a ripe mango or pineapple. That sweetness lingered but was quickly replaced by sharp pine notes and a slightly funky aftertaste on exhalation. CitrusQuest effects start with a gentle cerebral buzz, lifting my mood and sharpening my thoughts without an overwhelming intensity. As it settles in, I feel a mellow body relaxation that doesn’t weigh me down but rather soothes tension. Best suited for mid-morning to late afternoon, CitrusQuest is ideal when I need to stay engaged and productive while keeping my stress and anxiety at bay. It helped me remain clear-headed and focused while gently calming my nerves, offering a balanced mix of calm and concentration.
Will I refill this prescription? No. Writing these reviews has helped me realize that while I appreciate the effects of Myrcene, its flavours aren’t my favourite when it’s the dominant terpene in a flower. I’m more drawn to sweet, fruity cultivars, so the funky aftertaste of CitrusQuest didn’t quite sit right with me. At $135, Peak Harvest’s CitrusQuest delivered solid and consistent effects; it just didn’t quite align with my taste preferences.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 out of 5 stars)
