It has a potent THC content of 19-23% and a CBD content of only 0.75-1.07% along with a terpene profile dominated by bisabolol, carene, and valencene. It was developed by crossing two flavorful strains: Kosher Kush and the award-winning Tangie. The strain is created by DNA Genetics from the Netherlands and has got its name due to its frosted appearance with gold trichomes.

This mix is a balanced strain that caters to both types of people who like Indica- and Sativa-dominant kush. The hybrid leans slightly towards Indica, making it a little more dominant than Sativa (60/40 ratio). In 2018, it won 3rd place at the Milano Secret Cup.
