Edun – Live Rosin Badder – Animal Face (S)

Diesel and pine punch through immediately, with a thread of sweet mint cutting the sharper edges just enough to keep it from reading as harsh. Animal Face traces back to Face Off OG and Animal Mints, and that pairing leaves a profile that's loud and heavy up front, mellowing into something citrusy with a nutty cookie note showing up right near the end. This cold-cured badder keeps that whole spread intact instead of letting the sharper top notes cook off, so what you get mirrors the plant fairly closely, terpene for terpene. The high arrives quick and cerebral, giggly and uplifted for a stretch before a full-body melt takes over, tingly rather than dead weight. Conversation keeps flowing even once that melt sets in, which isn't typically true of something this loud up front. Where else does a strain manage a head rush and a body drop this evenly matched?
