Blurple Shatter

Available at Livwell in Denver.

If Shakespeare was still alive today, we feel like the master of making up words would approve of “Blurple,” a tremendous portmanteau of Blue Dream and Mendocino Purps. Fused into shatter by Infusiasm and distributed by LivWell, there’s a lot to wax poetically about. First, the clarity is top notch, with the blonde shards as part of the consistency of the shatter and not just slapped on there. Second, you get all that great purple smell—yes, it’s a thing—of grape and dark berry sugar when you fire it up. The highlight may have been the effect for our team, however: Almost like a rush of adrenaline but with total mental clarity, like a genius playing Jeopardy. We couldn’t get over how light we felt while simultaneously smiling more than a court jester. Blurple Shatter by any other name just might not taste as sweet.
