Review:
Pod review of Jack’s Yellow Lava. Michael Christensen grew this pod and sent to me. The pod weighed a little under 10 grams. I thought the flavor wasn’t bad at all, mostly fruity and citrusy. It had a good aroma too. The heat wasn’t superhot level, I’d say twice habanero level at most.

Review:
This pod was sent to me by Michael Christensen. It was extremely hot for a yellow pod. I detected three flavors before the heat slammed me. There was an initial sweetness, then a flavor I can’t identify, after that came some citrus. The pain started in my mouth, then moved back of my throat and stayed there for several minutes.
