what you describe sounds more like my sheff blues than exodus .... trust me ..i feel you on that mate,the one i remember as the original i would describe as, dettol/moldy cheesy feet/berry/cherry/black hash..
also do you know what i mean about a weird salivating mouth coating thing?....the guy that gifted me this cut,his flowers did the mouth thing although due to his overferting i couldnt totally taste the profile,i'll get to try some my pal has done before long and i know curiosity will get the better of me and i'll flower her in my room before long once i get space ...i live on a terrace tho so might not be the best idea with her aroma lol...so time will tell but she defo has the look and hall marks of the brightside...
bimble
exodus is more floral chemical but the chemical tastes like lavender mixed in with that earth dirty rotten foul skunky earthy repugnent toe curling backdrop...
sheff is more complex and has like a haribo/bubblegum after pallette mixed with the earrthy chemical skunky notes etc but exo is still top 5 for me .... would be a toss up between exo and ammy core cut for 2nd place .. just for no tolerance build up and both taste unique and hit different..
