I never got a real cheese smell from brightsides..it was always berry and Afghan hash...skunk is what brightsides smell like...i believe brightsides to be more of an old rks type but sweeter..like a sweet berry Afghan skunk with aco gold mixing it up...brightsides does smell fermented but not cheesey. it's more of a vinnigar or alcohol smell that stings your nose and eyes
I have tasted a cheese taste from other clones of "cheese" but not from brightsides ...
Ive only bought cheese buds in shit 20 deals (I know, I know) and thats always been my impression - astringent like vinegar or alcohol or even floor cleaner sort of and eye watering potency and off the chart, unique levels of odour. I remember smelling it in my mates pocket at 10 yards outside on a breezy day lol ...but never got the cheese smell. To me smoke that smelt of cheese would be vile anyway. tbh cheese that smells of cheese aint that great imo
