Pumpkin spice isn’t the only way to celebrate fall. At Hippos Cannabis, we’re leaning into the season by exploring the “fall flavors” of cannabis - earthy, spicy, fruity, and citrusy notes that pair perfectly with crisp air, changing leaves, and cozy nights. But what gives cannabis its seasonal personality? The answer lies in terpenes - the aromatic compounds responsible for each strain’s unique scent and taste.
In this guide, we’ll break down fall-friendly terpenes, spotlight products from our Missouri dispensaries, and share tips on pairing them with your favorite autumn rituals.
Terpenes: The Source of Seasonal Flavors
Terpenes are naturally occurring plant compounds that shape aroma and taste. In cannabis, they’re what make one strain citrusy, another spicy, and another deeply earthy. For fall, terpenes like caryophyllene (peppery spice), myrcene (earthy, musky), pinene (piney, forest-like), and limonene (bright citrus) hit the seasonal sweet spot.
Let’s see how these shine in four products available at Hippos.
Sparkle & Spice: Royal Cannabis Glitter Bomb
Royal Cannabis Glitter Bomb is flower with flair. The buds are dense and frosted, glittering under light with trichomes that practically sparkle - fitting for its festive name. When broken open, the aroma reveals a layered profile: earthy base tones balanced with sweet, almost dessert-like notes and a peppery finish.
Its flavor makes it a great match for chilly fall evenings when you want something that feels rich and cozy, like a spiced pie straight from the oven. Terpenes like caryophyllene give it that hint of clove-like spice, while myrcene adds grounding herbal depth. If you’re looking for flower that embodies autumn warmth, Glitter Bomb delivers.
Sundro’s Golden Apples; Perfect for Autumn Adventures
Sundro’s Golden Apples basically fall in flower form; bright, crisp, and ready to kick your day into gear. This sativa comes in at a solid 24% THC, delivering a happy, energetic buzz that feels like biting into the first apple of the season. It’s the kind of strain that pairs perfectly with sweater weather adventures: think pumpkin patch outings, creative bursts while decorating your place, or just vibing with friends on a cool evening. Golden Apples is known for sparking focus, creativity, and inspiration, so whether you’re brainstorming new ideas or just looking to keep the good vibes rolling, this strain has you covered.
Part of the magic is where it’s grown. Missouri’s only sealed glass-roofed greenhouse. Sundro combines high-tech indoor controls with the ultimate grow light, the sun, to craft terpene profiles you simply won’t find anywhere else. The result? Flavor that’s as unique as the experience, with a smooth, uplifting feel that screams fall fun. They even offer tours of the greenhouse if you’re curious about how this next-level cannabis is cultivated. Golden Apples isn’t just a strain; it’s a seasonal mood boost, bottled up for your autumn adventures.
Bold & Smoky: Elevate Hell’s OG Mini E-Bar
With a name as dramatic as the season, the Elevate Hell’s OG Mini E-Bar Disposable is a bold nod to the darker side of fall. Compact and sleek, this disposable vape carries the classic OG lineage - earthy, woody, and pine-forward with a spicy kick.
The dominant terpenes pinene and caryophyllene shape its profile, delivering forest-like freshness with peppery spice undertones. It’s a product that feels right at home during October nights: easy to slip in your pocket for discreet sessions, after going to haunted corn mazes, or just stepping outside under the autumn sky. For people who enjoy traditional cannabis flavors but want modern convenience, Hell’s OG checks every box.
Vertical’s Purple Churro Preroll: Dripping with Flavor
Vertical’s Purple Churro Preroll is the kind of treat that turns an ordinary night into a full-on vibe. Born from legendary genetics Cinnamon Horchata x Apples & Bananas, this strain is rare, highly sought-after, and dripping with flavor. Every puff layers sweet fruits, citrus zest, warm spices, and a swirl of vanilla that’s basically dessert in smoke form. It feels like the cannabis version of a churro fresh from the fair or a spiced fall latte: comforting, seasonal, and oh-so-satisfying. The effects land right in that sweet spot too: calm yet happy, relaxed but still energetic enough to keep the conversation flowing. It’s the kind of preroll you light up when you want to melt worries away and still feel present, playful, and connected.
What makes Purple Churro special is its world-class pedigree. It’s one of those strains that cannabis fans chase down for both flavor and feel. Vertical makes it easy to experience without the hunt, rolling it up in a smooth, ready-to-spark preroll that’s perfect for sharing at a cozy fall hangout or keeping all to yourself after a long day. Whether you’re laughing with friends around the firepit, pairing it with apple cider, or just soaking in the crisp evening air, Purple Churro fits right into the season. Rare, flavorful, and designed to impress, it’s the kind of preroll that makes any autumn night feel a little more magical.
