87 out of 100 points

Price: $40 per eighth, but varies

A sativa revival is emerging in California. Experience this big bag from Phat Panda that smells bright and spicy with terpinolene. Leafly lists Golden Pineapple as Golden Goat x Pineapple Kush, and this is what follows:

• it is golden
• pineapple-like
• with the right filled energy bar.

These smaller green buds are medium density, more spongy than sticky, with a truly classic Jack Terp profile – the Rolling Stones of Terp profiles.

Hand-cut, pesticide-free and inexpensive. Recommended activities include cleaning up trash on your street while blasting something banging with your headphones. Think globally, act locally.

Phat Panda is a large-scale indoor grower in Washington whose brand has made its way to California – welcome, Phat Panda.
