Golden Pineapple is a combination between Golden Goat, a male Hawaiian-Romulan pollinated with a Skunk mother, and Pineapple Kush (Pineapple x Master Kush), though its original breeder remains a mystery. Golden Pineapple was named for both its parentage and its vibrant pineapple and citrus aromas.

Its flavor and aroma helped Golden Pineapple clinch Best Sativa at the Oregon Northwest Cannabis Cup in 2017.
