Amaretto Sour
Also known as: Amoretto Sour, Ameretto Sour, Amoretto
Overview
Amaretto Sour is a cannabis strain created by Seed Junky Genetics that represents a sophisticated genetic achievement through a genetic cross between the renowned strains Zkittlez and (Biscotti x Sherb BX). It is a genetically balanced hybrid with mainly Sativa-induced effects and average THC levels hovering around 20%. It was created through a three-way crossbreeding project combining Biscotti, The Original Z (AKA Zkittlez), and Sherb BX1. The strain derives its name from the classic Italian liqueur, reflecting its sweet and nutty notes reminiscent of amaretto liqueur, complemented by hints of citrus and earthiness.
The strain presents stunning, dense buds with a mix of light and dark green hues, accentuated by fiery orange hairs and a generous dusting of frosty trichomes. The dominant terpene in Amaretto Sour is likely to be myrcene, which contributes to its relaxing effects and earthy aroma. Despite its balanced genetics, this strain boasts a balanced blend of sativa and indica genetics, with approximately 40% sativa and 60% indica, though users report uplifting and energetic effects in nature, with waves of euphoria and increased creativity. This leads to a deepening sense of relaxation and mild sedation without making you immobile for hours on end. The strain has gained recognition for its unique flavor profile and therapeutic versatility.
