London Drip vs Dirty Sprite: Which Indica to Order

Two of the most searched Cali Clear indicas, both sweet, and almost nothing else in common. If you are deciding between them, the split is straightforward once you know what each is actually doing.

The short answer

London Drip is dark, syrupy and slow: blackberry and grape with real weight to it. Dirty Sprite is bright and sharp: lemon-lime soda, sweet and fizzy.

Both lean indica. Only one of them tastes like it.

London Drip in detail

Blackberry and grape rather than bright red fruit, carried on a syrup body that coats more than anything else on the shelf. The sweetness settles at the back of the throat instead of the front of the tongue, which is an odd thing to notice until you run it against something lighter.

Everything about it is unhurried. The flavour takes a moment to arrive, sits for longer than most, and fades slowly. In a category where most products are built to make an immediate impression, that pacing is unusual and it is why this is the most reordered indica we stock.

The thing it does that similar flavours do not: heavy profiles normally become tiring by the second tank. This one does not, because the fruit is dark rather than sugary and nothing is pushing at you.

Dirty Sprite in detail

Lemon-lime up front, syrupy through the middle, with a candy finish that lingers longer than most of the range. It makes no attempt at subtlety, and the citrus is there to stop the whole thing collapsing into plain sugar.

What makes it interesting is that it is an indica that does not taste like one. Most indica flavours here lean earthy or baked; this goes the opposite direction entirely, which is why it sells to people who want the evening lean without the heavy dessert or kush notes that usually come with it.

Which to order

Buy London Drip if you want weight, if dark fruit appeals more than citrus, or if you have found sweet flavours tiring in the past. It is the more sophisticated of the two and the better long-term device.

Buy Dirty Sprite if you want something loud and immediate, if you like soda flavours, or if you want an evening device that does not taste heavy.

If you genuinely cannot decide, London Drip is the safer first purchase. It has more depth, so it holds up better if it ends up being your only device for a while.

What to pair with each

London Drip pairs naturally with a bright sativa for daytime; Super Lemon Haze is the usual choice because the two could not be less alike.

Dirty Sprite already covers the bright end, so pair it with something unsweetened like Bubba Kush if you want contrast rather than more sugar.

If neither is quite right

Space X Berries sits between them: dark berry like London Drip, but with a cool finish that lifts it and keeps it from sitting heavy. It is the compromise pick if the descriptions above have you halfway between the two.
