  Royal Gala can be a superb supermarket apple, with an exceptionally crisp bite and a slightly mild but pleasant flavour. Not too sweet!

  Juicy, fairly crisp, and rather soft (though not mushy or mealy). A rather uninspiring and dare I say almost objectionable flavor, though it does have a decent enough after-taste. I had a hard time finishing the one apple I tried; to be fair it may have been an older apple past its prime. I don't know that I'd be willing to try it again though, in the hopes it was a fluke, as there are much better apples out there.

  Usually a sweet variety and nearly always crisp and juicy I personally find that the French Royal Gala available September is the sweetest and most aromatic and crispest Have had some from a former eastern block country and they were oxidising before you bit into them. Very poor English are not usually very crisp but taste good
