Re: Utopia
Loved this place and right up there in the top 10 faverates, if not top 3 (would have to visit again to decide if it can become a top 3)
Was the female tender both times I was there on Sunday and monday. Top service from her and willing to let you look and smell everything without being pushy which can be an art of sorts. Was good the way she dealt with Danny when he was about to do a whitey on us, but managed to pull himself just in time lol.
As for there gear for me it was the champagne haze from here that was the best smoke of the trip.

Re: Utopia
Looking forward to visiting the shop after the refurb I dropped in 2 years ago but can't remember what I bought in there as was still high off my first taste of some Dutch SSH. Hopefully will have a better recollection this time round. Hopefully you will still have some cheese and champagne haze when I get there at the end of the month

Re: Utopia
Hello folks, I thought I'd take a minute to give you a quick update on how things are going from this end.
We had one of our regular police checks today- full tax team and everything. Sorry if anyone couldn't get in while we were closed. As ever, the check went fine and we were open again after a couple of hours.
I'm looking forward to the elections being over next week so we can start to guess where the goalposts are going to be moved to after the new year.
Personally I am cautiously optimistic that we will not see the weed pass come into effect in Amsterdam although it would not be the first time I have been wildly wrong.
To stoop into political wankspeak - the coffeeshop policies and the weed pass have become part of the political narrative of this election, thanks to a large degree to the efforts of Nol and his cannabus tour and despite the constant efforts of the shite wing of the media to disparage to industry.
What difference this will make we shall see come election day. Fingers crossed we'll be welcoming you long into the future.
On that subject a quick word on the menu-
The honey haze is back, but sadly not quite the solid nugs that it was last time. The same clone was used but this one seems to have been done in a greenhouse and forced into flower in early summer/ springtime.
While the density is not there, the flavour is still that honey sweetness and I think you'll find the price very nice!
We've got a new piece of grand cru as well- feels a little harder than the last piece though still very malleable. I'll be trying it out tonight and I look forward to hearing your opinions on it.
Still waiting to hear if we're gonna get the lovely stinky cheese I saw last week, will let you know when i do.
The cannalope haze came and went very quick but the champagne and amnesia hazes are still proving popular.
For flavor, though maybe not strength, the Devils13 is very nice and lovers of the old school may well want to have a look at the super skunk.
The Kandy and OG#18 kushes are both going strong and despite the very occasional seed I still rate the casey jones to be a good smoke.
That's pretty much everything for the menu except the nepalese cream which I've mentioned upthread and the iceolator which is your standard strong ice.
I almost forgot the cakes which, I've been happy to read in a few trip reports, have gone down well recently. Would love to hear more thoughts on these.
Right, enough rambling from me, I've got some bongs to clean.
