Weed Viewers: Ice Cream Cake, The Forest, MO, 2023
88 points out of 100
Spring, 2023
Price: $17/gram
Ice Cream Cake had a standout smell in Kansas City’s The Forest Dispensary lineup. Tropical almost Z nose of bergamot with a rich gelato bouquet when ground; an extremely enjoyable dessert smoke thanks to Wedding Cake x Gelato #33 genetics. Adorable evening couch companion. Ice Cream Cake is a flagship strain for state cannabis health programs and indicates that Missouri is doing well. We’ve tasted slightly better ICC in Cali, but also far worse. High demand forecast until 2024.
