Lost terpenes

The cannabis strains that smell of beer typically have a high concentration of the terpene humulene, which is also the dominant aromatic compound in hops (Humulus lupulus), the key ingredient in beer. Strains with this profile often have earthy, woody, and spicy notes. Specific strains known for their humulene content and a potential "beer" or "hoppy" aroma include: OG Kush: Often described as having a peppery, sour, and beer-like or "dank" smell due to high levels of myrcene and humulene. Gorilla Glue (GG4): This strain, an accidental cross of Chem's Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel, often contains a significant amount of caryophyllene and humulene, contributing to a dank and pungent profile. Chemdawg (or Chemdog): Known as the patriarch of many "gas" strains, Chemdawg varieties often have a very traditional, pungent, chemical, and dank aroma. Ghost Rider OG: Users report a piney, hoppy perfume with a sharp aftertaste, high in humulene. Durban Poison: This strain can contain notable amounts of humulene, contributing to its unique scent profile.
