The Story
“Pineapple and citrus over a light earthy base, sunny and clean.”
The nose is sweet and tropical: pineapple and citrus over a light earthy base, sunny and clean. The effect is bright and gentle — an uplifting, creative, happy head with a relaxed body, a low-stress daytime sativa.
It's moderate by modern standards, more about mood and flavour than overwhelming potency. For a mellow, tropical, feel-good sativa, Maui Wowie is a nostalgic favourite.
