It has been one of the best apples of the season. I bought about half a dozen, which were grown organically in NW Connecticut. When sampling different apples several family members thought these stood out (along with Golden Russet). <br /><br />They were completely red (a dark shade) and their brix was pretty high, in the 15.5-17.5 range. The texture was very firm and crunchy. The flavor was sweet, a bit like a Fuji, but with lots more kick. There was a nice perfumed aftertaste.Bob Vancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09788310004443683893noreply@blogger.com
