	This apple is the perfect example of why never to judge a book by its cover. This is perhaps the ugliest apple in the world, but the taste is quite good. Nothing spectacular, but it is sweet and pleasant, certainly above average, and has a bit of that pear-like nutty "russety" flavor. Do not be afraid to try this one!
