What I remember (and bear in mind, this is in SE USA, VA/NC border area, at the time; between 2008 and 2011) is:

Visual Appearance
- a manually-compressed bud (loosely-bricked or vac-sealed) that was bright, light green (in contrast to the green-browns of the then-common commercial mexi-brick) and bright red hairs.
Taste/Smell
- a taste and smell that was very, very piney and almost no other dominating scent/flavor apart from maybe the slightest hint of lemon and even slighter hint of skunk, but much much more piney-citrusy; very... refreshing smell and taste? Especially on first lighting.. would make GREAT vaporizing bud for the intensely terpeney pine-heavy flavor.
Effects
- the effects were undoubtedly sativa-leaning in character, though probably still fairly balanced. Could tend to be "creeper", very clearheaded, melted anxiety away (without inducing any, itself), absolutely no laziness, very prone to inducing creativity, could be giggly on the comeup, just a great happy social smoke that'd be ideal for daytime; and then on the second-half the indica effects would make themselves known, settling into a more-relaxed, peaceful effect with lingerings of the comeup throughout. For the duration of the effects, music-appreciation was always very-much increased, and it always had a peculiar effect on sense-of-touch... could be quite the strain to pair with some lovins

The combo of taste, smell, and effect always conjured up a sense of being out in the snow in the woods, in the pines. 😁
