I remember where I was the day I heard Barry White had died. While mowing the greens of the 6th hole of the East Course of the country club, I was wearing headphones jacked into a mini radio hanging from my shirt sleeve. The sun was just starting to bare its claws and lay into the day and sweat marks were working their way down my back. I turned down the mower engine and pulled off to let a foursome play through. Wiping my brow with a navy blue bandana, the sad news came over the airwaves. Barry White, master of musical seduction, had passed away.
Berry White, sometimes on menus as White Berry, is a cross between Blueberry x White Widow. The buds have a really light color from a combination of a pale flower and a frosty crust of healthy looking trichomes. There is some semblance to Blue Dream or Blue Cheese. Nuggets sticky as a 4 year olds hands, it made breaking them up difficult. Even with a quality grinder, it ripped down thin and chunky, with 1g barely filling a blunt. The scent is principally a pungent, sour berry from the Blueberry that bursts from the pop top when it is opened. That sweet earth or wood aroma you smell would be from the White Widow. This spice bark and nut is also present in the taste, tempering the over-ripe berry.
Berry White seems to lean Sativa, but not extensively. While it is mostly mellow, the indica present adds a comfortable body numb that adds to the relaxation. Creative and uplifting, it is good as a daytime high when working alone. However, the possible dreaminess at higher doses limits social activity and interaction on projects. I liked this strain for my days alone. Used before noon, it keeps the thoughtful peace of morning alive just a moment longer; used late in the afternoon, it helps transition from the hectic stresses of work to the tranquility of arriving home.
