Alien Cheese is a strain from the breeders at Obsoul33t, bred from a combination of either Blue Cheese or UK Cheese and Alien Rift. This gives the strain a genetic line overflowing with Afghani indica landraces and sativa landraces from Mexico and Colombia. Skunk #1 is a direct relative. From that pedigree, you’d be right to expect a hashy, potent flavor that creeps around your palette and really skunks the place up.

The strain’s terpene profile includes the spicy, herby, skunky favorites you’d expect: beta-myrcene, alpha-pinene, and caryophyllene. The result is a strain with wide variability in its THC content, landing anywhere from 14% to 30% (plus around 1% CBD). Its taste is herbal and peppery, with hints of citrus and pine floating around the edges. As you smoke, it becomes funkier and more cheese-like, with a hashy aftertaste that leaves your palette feeling earthy and ticklish. The strain is not for the faint of heart (or tongue). You should be well-versed in indica-dominant hash strains before you give Alien Cheese access to your head.

If you can get over the hash-like savory sweetness of the blue cheesy flavor, the Alien Cheese strain will leave you relaxed and happy. Users report feeling the strain’s effects creep slowly around their consciousness for a while as the flavor builds, before eventually leaving them lucid, euphoric, and peaceful. If you smoke to find tranquility, getting beamed up by Alien Cheese should prove to be an ideal getaway. The strain makes sleeping a lot easier too.

Obsoul33t is a breeder out of Oregon, best known as the originators of the famous Alien Technology strain, as well as numerous Alien phenotypes like Alien Orange Gum, Alien Tarantula, and of course, Alien Cheese. According to legend, Obsoul33t got its first taste of the Afghan landrace strain that would become the Alien phenotypes when a U.S. soldier returned from serving in Afghanistan with the seeds. Whether you buy into the speculation or not, Alien Cheese is a climactic, happiness-inducing funk generator that creeps up on your unsuspecting mind and blasts you into sleepy oblivion. Just make sure you have experience with hashy indicas and a love for skunk before diving in.
