An acceptable apple. Main advantage is early harvest. Softer fleshed, less tart and less complex than I like.

I enjoyed this apple. It has a slight tartness with an enjoyable flavor. The taste had a bit of pear in it for me. This variety does have some characteristics that I don't like in an apple. The skin is on the tough side and so far all the ones I've had (from one source to this point) are soft fleshed. This is not a crisp apple, the flesh is pushing the edge of mealy. Overall I will buy this apple again because I think the flavor is worth it.

The one I had, though nicely colored, was very tart. I usually like tart apples, but I cannot recommend this apple.
