Bernie Hanna Butter strain guide
Bernie Hanna Butter, also written BernieHana Butter, is a hybrid from Cookies with a long list of dessert strains behind it. People know it for a rich, buttery, doughy smell and a relaxed, happy feel. It usually tests high in THC.
Where does Bernie Hanna Butter come from?
Bernie Hanna Butter comes from Cookies, the California brand behind many Girl Scout Cookies descendants. The cross listed by one strain database, another database and Canadian retail listings is two crosses combined: Jet Fuel Gelato with Guava, and Blue Cookies with Oreoz.
That makes it a mix of several Cookies family lines, which is why sources call it GSC genetics. One strain database files it under indica, while most other listings call it an indica-leaning hybrid.
What does Bernie Hanna Butter smell and taste like?
As the name suggests, butter and dough lead, with honey and vanilla around them. Some batches add berry, a floral note or a funky gas smell underneath.
One strain database lists caryophyllene, limonene and humulene as its main terpenes. Caryophyllene adds a peppery edge, limonene a little citrus and humulene an earthy, woody note. The flavour is usually described as rich and creamy.
