Appearance
The look on this jar was solid, it opened to a light, buttery yellow color, and the consistency was on point with an easy to scoop texture that was ever so slightly sugary especially after a nice whip.
The jar art was dope too. The top sticker featured the classic Real Deal Resin font, this time paired with Valley Grove and their collab logo. The wraparound label carried the strain details and had a woman in old style robes holding a bow and arrow, standing against a starry night sky. It seems to be Luna, the Roman goddess of the moon along with a crescent moon off to the other side, underneath it read “As Seen on Hot Dabs,” tying it back to Real Deal Resin YouTube channel. My only critique on the looks is that they cut corners on the miron jars and went with cheaper china made ones which I forgot to point out in the previous jar I had. The way you can tell is because they don’t have the “m” stamped on the bottom. These lower quality jars can actually deteriorate the hash over time.
Aroma
The nose on this one was really enjoyable and definitely my kind of terps. The moment I cracked the jar, I knew I was going to enjoy it and probably stash the other one for myself if the taste matched and that it did. When I put it up to my nose, it gave off a fruity, tropical, ever so slight creamy aroma. It was like walking through a fruit farm filled with fresh coconuts, papaya’s, and bananas. Just an all around great smelling jar especially if you’re into those fruity terps.
Taste
The taste on this one was smooth and layered. On the front end I got that sweet, creamy honey fruity terp that hit just right. On the exhale, notes of sweet papaya came through its not that overpowering papaya taste, but still noticeable enough to leave a tropical sweetness that lingered on the palate. The jar also smoked clean with little to no background noise, making for a smooth dab, which I always appreciate and consider a crucial part of any review. It’s just a tasty jar, especially if you’re into those fruity vibes.
Overall
This was a great jar from Real Deal Resin and Valley Grove easily my favorite out of the three I tried from their collaboration that I got. I went in expecting Tropaya to take the crown, but this one completely stole the show, and all the homies agreed.
It checked every box for me, no complaints at all except that the miron jar was a china one which will deteriorate the hash inside over time as I’ve seen with some of their jars online luckily this one was a fresh drop at the time. The dabs were smooth with almost no background noise, which is huge for me especially when you’re paying a premium ticket for a jar.
My favorite part was the nose and the taste. The terps lined up perfectly with that sweet, fruity profile and honestly, who doesn’t love that? This jar was easily the most enjoyable of the bunch and I liked it so much that I ended up keeping the other one for myself over the tropaya and scooby taffy without a hint of regret.
If you’re into those sweet, fruity tropical terps, this one’s a solid grab and I would definitely grab this one again solid terps no doubt about that. Shoutout to Real Deal Resin and Valley Grove they crushed this one
