**Golden Pineapple (Duomei) 0.4%/0.8% (1-8-23)** -- Currently my goto, top shelf Pineapple is hands down VTA Sugarloaf, and I've wondered if any other could knock it from it's perch. This Golden Pineapple had a lot of the similar nuances, with a juicy, bright yellow mid level sweet pineapple. It was not candied, baked, or raw, but almost like canned, sweet pineapple chunks. To better clarify, it didn't have a syrupy finish, but was just sweet enough. It def. lived more in the brighter, punchy, high end region of the pineapple, which led to a more juicy, bright, and fresh pineapple. I think with the surplus of the yellow" I got from this, I think "golden" is pretty accurate. My only issue (I know, I know), was that despite being a great juicy yellow pineapple, it seemed to lack a little punch. When testing it @ 0.4%, it was great, but felt like it just needed MORE of it, so I doubled it to 0.8%. It increased slightly, but still left me wanting more. When tasting directly out of the bottle it was fairly strong, but for some reason, it didn't translate directly when vaping. Interesting, and confusing at the same time. Hard to score this one perfectly as the flavor itself was GREAT, I just wanted to get a little more of it (saturation). I briefly tested above 0.8%, but it didn't change, and with some possible muting, so it was, what it was. Flavor/accuracy wise, I'd rate it at a stellar 9.8/10, but with the minor takeoffs for JUST the lack of punch and saturation, I'll leave it @ **8.8/10**. Let YOUR tastes decide whether or not the punch/saturation is good enough or not. Nothing off-putting at any of the testing weights, so you can go crazy with it (within limits) and experiment. I know @lukeloop was really looking forward to, and already mixing with this one, so I'm curious to hear what he thought about it."
