	I got a few of these apples at the local market. They were exceptionally sweet with noticeable honey and tropical overtones. Not much balancing acid. The flesh was firm with a "soft" crunch, kind of like a golden delicious before it goes mealy. People who love very sweet apples will want to try this one.

	Sweet, juicy. Might be good to use as a base for cider.
