A first inspection of flowers of Sour Tangie may pick up on some fruity, citrus notes. A second whiff, meanwhile, might detect a strong diesel aroma, picked up form parent strain ECSD. Grinding up or picking apart these leafy buds can release more of a hashy, sandalwood-like odor.  On the exhale, this aromatic smoke leaves behind a spicy, orange-tinged flavor.

Like other mostly sativa strains, Sour Tangie’s high takes hold relatively quickly. Initial signs of the strain’s action include a head rush that comes with an increased pulse around the temples and some possible flushing in the cheeks. Thoughts may jump from one to another in a free association, while certain concepts or objects may seem to take on a new significance. This cerebral state can spell productivity under the right circumstances — motivated smokers may be able to work for an extended period on complicated analytical tasks as well as on more open-ended, creative projects. For those who aren’t feeling as productive, Sour Tangie’s activated buzz can just be a fun way to pass the time daydreaming as you’re working on mundane errands or household chores.

Even after an hour or so, Sour Tangie’s mental stimulation stays consistent. Although some users describe an increased in physical relaxation, this body stone isn’t usually strong enough to lock them on the couch. The strain can also be an effective social lubricant in party settings, sparking camaraderie and free-flowing conversation.
