Description:
Caramel Coated is a balanced hybrid from Clearwater Genetics, bred by crossing the candy-forward Runtz with the minty complexity of Apple Mintz. This strain produces a sweet, creamy aroma with notes of mint, caramel, and tropical gas, wrapped in a smooth smoke that’s both uplifting and deeply relaxing. Expect a colorful bud structure with frosted resin and sticky density, delivering standout flavor and presence in any garden or jar.
Hash & Extraction Suitability:
Caramel Coated may produce excellent solventless returns with the right phenotype.
Runtz lines are known to vary in hash performance—some leaning greasy from limonene—but Apple Mintz brings caryophyllene and myrcene-rich structure, which improves washability and resin flow. Look for dense, sandy trichome phenos with strong backend spice and cream to maximize extraction potential.
