Delahaze is a hybrid that leans toward sativa. It’s known for a “loud” aroma and a clean, energetic character. In many lots the scent speaks first: fresh, citrusy, with a touch of mango and resinous pine, with a light incense note in the background.
What it looks like — in short
- Habit: slimmer, sativa-style architecture, longer “towers” from tight calyxes.
- Calyxes & trichomes: plenty of even resin heads; after grinding the material sticks to your fingers.
- Color: greens from lime to olive; pistils start creamy, then turn honey–rust.
Aroma & flavor — what you actually smell
- Front: citrus (limonene), fresh green facets and juniper/cypress (terpinolene).
- Middle: mango/tropical fruit (myrcene, ocimene), resinous pine (pinene).
- Background: light peppery spice (β-caryophyllene), sometimes a gentle incense accent.
On the palate it reads dry and clean: citrus–resin with a long, clear finish.
Impressions (sensory)
Most reports align: a quick, bright head start (focus, energy), then soft body relaxation without a heavy anchor. It’s a “daytime” sativa: it nudges activity and motivation without loss of control. Sensory language—individual reactions vary.
Phenotypes — most common variants
- Citrus–forest: terpinolene + pinene in front; fresh, airy aroma.
- Mango–floral: myrcene/ocimene + linalool; juicier and more floral.
- Citrus–incense: limonene + terpinolene + caryophyllene; clean with a light spicy edge.
Quick “terpene map”
Most common: terpinolene, limonene, myrcene, pinene, β-caryophyllene, ocimene (+ sometimes linalool, humulene). This combo explains the mix of citrus, tropics, pine resin, and light spice.
Spotting a good batch
- Smell after grinding: citrus + fresh conifers jump out, no raw green harshness.
- Frost: even, glassy; no dull islands.
- Structure:calyx > leaf, dense but not rock-hard.
- Touch: a sticky resin film stays on the fingertip.
A small “botanical” note
Delahaze has a looser, sativa flower mass and high aroma carry. In a clean, orderly setting, the profile reads clearly as citrus–mango–pine–incense instead of blending into generic “green.”
Who is Delahaze for?
For people who like a bright, daytime sativa profile, want distinct terpinolene, and enjoy a terpene mix of citrus + tropics + forest. Good for fans of clear aromas without excessive sweetness.
