StrawRilla by Full Tilt Labs: Gina from Silverleaf Somerset Was Spot On – Our Honest Review
Gina from Silverleaf Dispensary in Somerset didn’t sugarcoat it. “You guys need to put this one on the site,” she said, nodding toward the icon on her tablet showing the Full Tilt Labs’ StrawRilla. When a budtender who actually smokes the flower and talks to real customers every shift singles something out, you listen. We grabbed it, smoked it, and here’s the straight truth on why it earned the write-up.
Silverleaf’s spot at 1743 NJ-27 Suite 2 in Somerset is one of those Central Jersey dispensaries that actually feels built for the people who live here. Recreational only (21+, no card needed), they serve Somerset, New Brunswick, Edison, Piscataway and the whole area with lab-tested product from real New Jersey cultivators and brands. Their website (silverleafnj.com) keeps it simple and useful — full online menu, same-day pickup, daily deals that aren’t just marketing, and a loyalty program that actually gives something back. Staff like Gina don’t just ring you up — they steer you toward what matches what you’re looking for. That’s rare and worth respecting.
StrawRilla (Full Tilt Labs) — Hybrid | Our Score: 8.7/10 🍓🍦🔥
Breakdown
- Bag Appeal: 9/10 — Dense, well-trimmed nugs with solid frost, deep greens, purples, and orange pistils. Looks like it belongs in a jar you show off.
- Aroma: 9.5/10 — Loud, juicy ripe strawberry up front with a creamy vanilla sweetness underneath. Like a fresh strawberry milkshake or warm vanilla dessert with that unmistakable dank edge. It fills the room the right way.
- Flavor: 8.5/10 — Inhale is sweet berry and smooth vanilla cream. Exhale brings a touch of earth and light spice. Burns clean and holds the profile through the joint without turning harsh.
- Effects: 8.7/10 — Balanced hybrid that actually lives up to the description. Starts with an uplifting cerebral lift — euphoric, creative headspace where mood rises and thoughts flow without edge or anxiety. Moves into a soothing body relaxation that’s present but not heavy or sedating. Functional enough for daytime creative work or casual sessions, yet mellow enough to ease into the evening. THC sits in the high-20s to low-30s range depending on the batch.

The honest take: This isn’t some revolutionary new flavor profile if you’ve smoked strawberry hybrids before. But Full Tilt’s small-batch, soil-grown approach shows in the terpene clarity and the smoothness of the smoke. That creamy vanilla layer on top of the ripe strawberry makes it feel more like dessert than your standard berry strain. It’s flavorful, well-executed, and genuinely enjoyable from first pull to last. Gina was spot on — this one deserved the review and a spot in the regular rotation.
It’s the kind of flower that fits the lifestyle we actually live here: something that enhances the moment without hijacking it. Creative flow when you need it, body ease when the day’s been long, and flavor that makes you want to roll another.
If you’re in the Somerset area, stop by Silverleaf, ask for Gina, and tell her The Stoner Review sent you. Grab a pre-roll of this and see for yourself.
It’s a certified banger. ALERT, not for LIGHTWEIGHTS unless you’re going all in baby.

Nose First, Percentage Second
Lab printouts are useful. They are not the whole story. A cut that smells loud, cured clean, and burns white will outperform a bigger THC number that tastes like cardboard. Ask for the nose. Ask who grew it. Ask what the jar smelled like when it opened — not just what the sticker claims.
At The Stoner Review we score what we actually smoke: flavor, effect shape, ash, and whether we would buy it again with our own money. That is the difference between a menu write-up and a field note.
