Super Lemon Haze
Up first on our list of the best summer strains is a strain that is famous for its delicious citrusy flavor profile, Super Lemon Haze.

This means the high tends to deliver more cerebral effects like arousal, creativity, energy, and euphoria. These effects make it perfect for smoking with friends in the summer. In terms of flavor, Super Lemon Haze has a tart but zesty taste and smell, with sweet notes of candy. So, if you’re looking for a sweet lemony treat that will really put some pep in your step, consider picking up some Super Lemon Haze.
