Concentrates don’t leave a lot of room to hide, and Burn’s split 2-gram shatter pouch puts that to the test by pairing a full gram of Alien OG with a full gram of Sour Diesel in the same package. This Alien OG strain review looks at both sides of that pouch – the heavy hybrid funk of Alien OG and the sharp fuel-citrus punch of Sour Diesel – and covers aroma, effects, potency, and exactly how to dab shatter properly if you’re newer to concentrates.
Alien OG Strain Genetics and What’s in the Pouch
Alien OG is a hybrid built around the classic OG lineage, known for its lemon-pine funk and heavy-handed hybrid effects that lean toward relaxation without fully sedating you. Burn pairs it here with Sour Diesel, a sativa famous for its sharp, fuel-and-citrus aroma and energizing, cerebral effects. Splitting the two in one pouch means you get a full gram of each rather than a blended half-and-half, so the two extracts stay completely distinct – you choose which side to dab depending on the effect you’re after that day.
| Side | Type | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Alien OG | Hybrid | 1 gram |
| Sour Diesel | Sativa | 1 gram |
Aroma and Flavour: Lemon-Pine Funk Meets Fuel and Citrus
The Alien OG side brings a dense, lemon-pine funk that’s typical of strong OG genetics – resinous, a little skunky, with a citrus edge underneath. The Sour Diesel side is sharper and more fuel-forward, with a sour citrus bite that hits first and lingers on the exhale. Tried side by side, the contrast is obvious: Alien OG is the heavier, denser smell, while Sour Diesel is brighter and more pungent. Since this is a shatter concentrate rather than flower, both sides carry that aroma at a concentrated intensity, so a little goes a long way even before you’ve taken a dab.
Effects: Two Distinct Highs in One Pouch
This is really two strain reviews in one product. The Alien OG side leans into classic hybrid OG territory – a heavy body feel with a relaxed, slightly hazy head, good for unwinding without being fully sedated. The Sour Diesel side flips that entirely, delivering a fast, energizing, cerebral lift that’s better suited to daytime use or any time you need to stay functional. Because this is shatter rather than flower, both sides hit noticeably harder and faster than smoking dried bud – concentrates are considerably more potent gram-for-gram, so pacing yourself matters more here than with flower.
How to Dab Burn Shatter Properly
- Break off a rice-grain-sized piece with a dab tool – you do not need more than that per session.
- Keep your nail or banger at a low-to-medium temperature to protect the terpenes and avoid harsh, burnt hits.
- No rig? Crumble a small amount over a bowl of flower or into a joint instead.
- Store the pouch cool, dark and airtight – warmth will turn shatter to sugar or budder over time (texture only, not potency).
THC Potency: Why Shatter Hits Differently Than Flower
Burn doesn’t publish a specific lab number on this listing, but shatter as a category typically tests well above flower – often in the 60%-80%+ THC range once the plant material has been stripped away and the resin concentrated down. That gap matters practically: a dab the size of a grain of rice can deliver more total THC than an entire joint of average flower. If you’re used to judging your tolerance by flower alone, treat your first session with either side of this pouch as a re-calibration, not a repeat of your usual habits.
Who This Alien OG Strain Review Recommends It For
This product is built for people who already have some concentrate experience, since shatter is considerably stronger than flower and easy to overdo if you’re new to dabbing. It’s a strong pick if you want flexibility in one purchase – a heavier, relaxing hybrid option and a sharp, energizing sativa option, without buying two separate products. Buyers who already like OG-leaning hybrids or diesel-forward sativas in flower form will recognize both profiles instantly here, just concentrated. New concentrate users should start with the smallest dab imaginable and wait a few minutes before taking more, regardless of which side of the pouch you pick, and should have a low-temperature setup on hand rather than torching the nail.
Final Verdict
Between the dense lemon-pine funk of Alien OG and the sharp fuel-citrus bite of Sour Diesel, Burn’s split 2-gram shatter pouch gives experienced concentrate users two very different, well-executed highs in a single $40 pickup. If you want a hybrid option for evenings and a sativa option for daytime without committing to two full products, this Alien OG strain review says it’s a smart way to do exactly that.
