Single Source Poon Tang Pie Full Spectrum Live Rosin Batter Review

Take a trip with Single Source’s Poon Tang Pie full spectrum live rosin batter, which delivers a unique aroma and flavor profile unlike most strains you’ve had before. Best of all however are its sharp, largely uplifting effects but be warned, the munchies will come knocking. The gram we received smoked exceptionally smoothly and is best taken at lower temperatures to capture its zany essence, so don’t roast it if you want to enjoy everything this hash has to offer. 

There’s no doubt about the naming being right on the money: the gram of Poon Tang Pie live rosin batter we got from Single Source looks and acts like sticky, sugary, eggy cake batter. As you can tell from the pictures its golden amber hue is quite visually pleasing. The dollop of hash waiting for me in the jar is neatly presented and must have taken some real expertise in the lab to be grammed out. It was provided at room temperature however just like the Wedding Pie x Tropical Zkittlez I reviewed recently. Once I got it home I added it to the rest of my stash in the refrigerator which solidified it some and made it easier to work with.

If you just looked at the parents that were bred to make Poon Tang Pie, you might have some expectation that you’re in for yet another fruity overload. This is not quite the case with the phenotype that was grown and washed for the sample we received. The aroma profile is difficult to describe as it’s equal parts sharp, borderline acidic menthol-ish something or other combined with sweet, crisp green grapes. Maybe there is even some grapefruit in there, but I found its quite strong scent surprisingly difficult to untangle compared to most strains we review. Strange indeed but not at all in a bad way. 

If you’ve never had it before, it will surprise your nose and I can’t recall any other strains I’ve dabbed that are like it. I went and looked online to see what other people perceived its notes to be but it turns out it’s all over the place – others report everything from peppers to cranberries, so perhaps there is a particularly wide range of phenotypes that are making the rounds out there.

I really wanted to get to the bottom of this one so using my glass rig and quartz banger seemed like a good idea. I heated things up to 495°F (having gotten lazy about using my temp reader in the past I figured it was time to put it back into regular service) before dropping in a medium sized dab. Coming in at just under 500°F meant that the hash took a little longer to melt out fully, but in the high 400s, low 500s is where I usually find the best flavor-to-vapor ratio personally. 

The complex nature of the hash certainly doesn’t stop with how it smells. It took me a handful of dabs over a few days to really put the flavor all together… maybe. Single Source delivered an exceptionally smooth, tasty rosin here that crosses a wide range of notes on your palette. For me, it starts off in the territory of a sweet mint and then takes a sharp U-turn into something meaty or savory that’s fairly fleeting. The retests of that peculiar flavor trajectory yielded similar, wild-taste rides every time. It’s not particularly heavy on flavor or long lasting in your mouth, but it is unique in a way most hash enthusiasts will find very interesting. Poon Tang Pie is definitely not your average fruit, gas, piney, or skunky terpene profile. I get the sense that most people will appreciate a hash this unique, but it also won’t be everyone’s cup of tea either. Regardless, it’s one you should definitely try. Wanted, dead or alive: a full terpene lab test result, pronto!
