Tannins and Terpenes Pairing: Dank Czar Planet Guava Live Rosin and Oude Roussanne Tilquin a l’Ancienne Beer

This disposable features a custom diamond-shaped window that highlights the beautiful half-gram of golden rosin inside.

The Tannins

Sip an exotic beer that drinks like a wine with the Oude Roussanne Tilquin à l’Ancienne, a white wine-inspired beer that’s brewed with Roussanne grapes and fermented in the bottle. First tastes are very white wine-forward, with notes of honeysuckle and a crisp, clean mouthfeel and finish. This drinks like a fruit-forward white wine but is technically a beer, which is a perfect conversation starter for an afternoon soirée.

The Terpenes

Dank Czar’s new disposables feel sexy, with soft-touch paper and satin high-gloss packaging that engages the senses as the pen moves from package to hand. The surface of the pen is super smooth and sultry, sliding easily between fingers and holding on to the embossed logo on the bottom. It features a custom diamond-shaped window that highlights the beautiful half-gram of golden rosin inside, which maintains full flavor from first dab to last. We also highlight a custom dual-tank, two-flavor pen in the shot, a new-to-the-market development filled with Zoap and Papaya Planet. With delicious top-shelf rosin, we love flipping the switch between the two strains for a double dab on the go.

The Pairing

First puffs of live rosin are syrupy and sweet, with a creamy tropical wave of guava and earthy, kushy gas that washes over the senses. Repeated puffs deliver notes of Moonbow and sugary red berries from the Planet Purple parentage, which complements the hazy Papaya Guava perfectly. This combo delivers a heady, potent buzz that’s physically relaxing yet mentally euphoric, ideal for enlightened conversation and yummy munchies. Paired with the lighter alcohol beer, each refreshingly crisp and slightly fizzy sip helps reset the palate, complementing the Planet Guava for a brunch-worthy buzz that’s floaty and fun but not too sauced to miss out on the last sunny days of summer.

About Wes Abney

Wes Abney is the founder and CEO of the Leaf Nation brand family, which began in 2010 as Northwest Leaf magazine. Recognized as the first Cannabis publication in the region, Northwest Leaf defined and developed the medical and recreational Cannabis communities in Washington with free publications focused on quality content and truthful journalism. The model’s success has led to Oregon Leaf in 2014, Alaska Leaf in 2016, Maryland Leaf in 2019, California Leaf in Spring of 2020, and Northeast Leaf in Fall of 2020. Wes’s writing and publishing background began with his college newspaper, The Ebbtide, which included a love for multimedia and creating content on many platforms. The nickname “Bearded Lorax” came after years of publishing millions of free magazines, using his voice to speak for a plant and those that benefit from it. Wes is an activist not only for Cannabis but for alternative medicine treatments, ending the drug war and freeing prisoners who have been wrongfully incarcerated for non-violent crimes. His passion for reaching people with written and spoken words led to the concept of Leaf Life Podcast in partnership with Mike Ricker, which began development in 2018 and launched in January 2019. With the combined passions of Cannabis and a love for broadcasting, the creation of Leaf Life was a natural progression for Leaf Nation as it spread roots across the United States. With over 100 shows recorded, and printing over 100,000 monthly copies, Leaf Nation has become the world’s largest Cannabis media company, while still celebrating the humble roots and truthful journalism that the model was founded upon. Beyond leading a team of 40+ passionate Cannabis creatives, Wes is the father to two beautiful daughters and two furry cats. He lives in Seattle, drinks coffee, and enjoys Cannabis daily, and hopes to eventually transition from a successful Cannabis journalist to a classic coffee shop author as the Leaf continues to grow in the coming decades. In true Lorax fashion, he enjoys hikes in the forest, communing with nature, and reminding people that “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.”
