Brûlée

Brand: Maven Genetics

Type: indica

Brûlée is an indica from Maven Genetics, the California indoor grower, bred from Peanut Butter Breath and Garlic Butter. Maven has sold it as flower and as a five-pack of half-gram pre-rolls, 2.5 grams in all.

Both parents lean savory. Peanut Butter Breath is a Thug Pug Genetics staple with more than 180 direct hybrids to its name, and Garlic Butter carries GMO blood on either of its two known versions.

Peanut Butter Breath and the Thug Pug line

Peanut Butter Breath comes from Thug Pug Genetics. It crosses Do-Si-Dos with the Studly Spewright selection of Mendo Breath F2. Do-Si-Dos brings Girl Scout Cookies and Face Off OG, while Mendo Breath F2 traces to Mendo Montage and OGKB.

The plant is known for a split personality. Seedfinder describes a tendency to stretch in flower, with long, leggy branches, yet the buds finish dense and thick under a heavy coat of trichomes. Red-orange pistils sit against olive green, and some phenotypes show flecks of white and purple.

Flowering runs 8–10 weeks by Seedfinder's count, and Leafly lists 8–9 weeks. Leafly also rates it hard to grow, with a medium yield. Seedfinder counts 182 direct hybrids built from it, which makes Brûlée one entry in a very large family.

Two plants carry the Garlic Butter name

Weedmaps lists two separate Garlic Butter lines. Thug Pug Genetics bred one by crossing Peanut Butter Breath with Garlic Breath, itself GMO crossed with Mendo Breath F2. Seedfinder lists that version as mostly indica, finishing in about 63 days.

Thug Pug describes it as a combination of some of its most prolific strains. The breeder promises some of the frostiest nugs in its catalog, with a longer flowering time than some alternatives.

Humboldt Seed Company bred the other version, also sold as Garlic Budder, in a 2019 pheno hunt. Leafly lists it as GMO Cookies crossed with Fortune Cookies, an indica-dominant plant averaging 20% THC with 1% CBG and caryophyllene as its leading terpene.

Weedmaps describes Garlic Butter plants as tall, bushy and high yielding. The flower is forest green with golden tones, long, thick orange hairs and a frosting of trichomes.

Forest green and deep purple in the jar

Brûlée finishes dark. Maven describes forest green and deep purple buds coated in red-orange stigmas and sticky trichomes. The smoke is smooth and savory.

Maven pitches the high in two stages. A cerebral lift arrives first, then the body settles into a heavy, sedated calm. The company recommends it for decompressing and settling into a calm state of mind.

Leafly's brand listing and the Weedmaps product pages all file Brûlée as an indica, and all three name the same two parents.

Where Brûlée fits in Maven's program

Maven says it was founded to grow rare, exotic indoor cannabis at the highest level. The company points to disciplined pheno hunting, precision indoor cultivation and careful curing, and it controls production from seed to sale.

The team claims more than 20 years in the California cannabis community. Maven sells flower, concentrates, pre-rolls, vapes and seeds, with product lines including Goldies, Alchemy, Mini Halos and Halochrome.

Valley Pure's Maven guide lists the Brûlée pre-roll five-pack alongside L.A. Rouge, Kashmir Kush and a Sour Lemon Skywalker live resin. Maven's strain library also carries two other butter-named crosses, Umami Butter from Gelatti × Black Diamond X and French Butter from FKAFL × Umami Butter.
