SG REVIEWS

We recently stayed on a house boat very close to Siberie. It was the nearest coffeshop to us.

Although it is close to the centre and not far from Central Station because of it's position on Brouwersgracht, it fortunately doesn't attract many too many tourists and is frequented mainly by locals.

Very laid back, good interior and we felt happy and chilled to be there.

Good quailty product not exceptional but good.

If you're looking for a place to relax and not be inundated by the more rowdy vistiors then this is the place to go.

Part of a group of four coffeshops - we only tried Siberie out of the four.

Popped in for buy and fly as we were staying on a Houseboat in Brouwersgracht just down the road.

Tangerine Dream 9/10 - First smoke of the trip. Amazing taste and a good smoke.

Liberty Haze  8.5/10 - Nice but not the best I've had. Good with some hash.

King Hassan - 9.5/10 - Gorgeous, like a sweet flowery and slightly dusty taste of the desert. Favourite buy from Barney's.

Parvati Charas - 7.5/10 - Okay, smells good. Thick white smokkey plumes when I lit one up. Nothing to special.

Overall I thought the product quality was pretty good and really loved the King Hassan. Wasn't bothered about hanging around this time but in the past if I'm up that way, I've found it was okay for toking on a cheeky one just before coming out and walking in the wrong direction to where you should be going!

On my arrival, I decided to check out Amnesia as I'd had a craving for something with some heritage. Went for the Acapulco Gold (Sativa Cup Winner 2010) Not cheap at 15 euros/g or 67.50 for 5gms but when it came out of the box. Wow, gorgeous crystal covered solid buds. You know it's going to be good just from the look and smell. Got 3 gms.

It smokes so beautfully, it felt like having a fine cigar except it was a big fella full of this wonderful weed. Long lasting high and I felt on top of the world.

Probably the best (weed) smoke of the trip.

Personal rating Venue 8/10. Menu Choice 9/10 Acapulco Gold 9.5 to 10/10

A bit like sitting at a local cafe and there's a mix of locals and those in the know. Pretty chilled place to have a smoke.

Highly recommend their Turkish Hash. Seems hard to come by and be good but I wasn't disappointed by it. It comes in pressed sligtly hard strips but when warmed up it breaks up nicely and is a really satisfying smoke. Great Buzz, not too long lasting but one of the best of the unusual hashes to find in the Dam!  Didn't go for any weed so can't comment on their selection or quality of  those.

Personal rating 9/10 venue 9/10 Turkish Hash
