There are definitely some coffee shops in Amsterdam that have no business entering certain strains in the Cannabis Cup. In 2008, Brainstorm Haze x G13 from De Rokerij was just one of those strains.
From: De Rokerij (Coffee Shop)
Grade: B
Type: Hybrid
Price: Appx. $10/G
Looks: A little leafy. A good word to describe the look would be ‘wild’. Better manicure needed.
Smell: The worst part of this bud was the smell. Very green, leafy, schwagy smell.
Taste: Thick harsh smoke. Very potent resin flavor.
Buzz Type: Pretty clean buzz. Had me laughing pretty hard.
Buzz Length: Medium. Nothing special.
Overall: I really think this bud was entered just so De Rokerij would be included in the 2008 Cannabis Cup. Was not very good compared to other entries.
Buzz Report: Luckily for me when I went to De Rokerij I already had at least a quarter ounce of bud broken up into 6 or 7 strains otherwise I would of had to buy more weed. Brainstorm Haze x G13 just did nothing for me.

Sounds like it was a disappointment. Especially since you have been smoking pretty much nothing but fire.
Two-One: Yeah it was kind of burnt. I guess they can’t all be perfect.
This strain is a Delta 9 strain, too bad it sucked. I bought a Sweet Haze from Rokerij in 2006 that wasn’t that great.
BliskiLaboki: I’m guessing that when it’s grown under optimal conditions it is probably better.
yea it is delta 9 genetics, it sounds pretty interesting too [stargazer x pure thai] x g13, maybe it was a bad batch? pretty disappointing
Had some great parents…too bad it wasn’t grown properly.
ogspliff: I’m hoping it was just a bad batch and not indicative of their growing skills.
meangreenmartian: I was definitely hoping for a bit more.
with a name like g13 x brainstorm haze you would expect a real strong and long lasting high because of the potency of the parents of the brainstorm haze.
mark: You’d think. Unfortunately that was not the case.
the brainstorm I get was purchased from a hightimes mag last year and that produced the best strain I’ve ever come across and it had a white tinge to it.
@keith: I’ve heard a lot of good things about both Brainstorm and Brainstorm Haze x G13.
I think this was just a bad batch or something.
