Large tan lenticel dots are prominent, but only within the blushed region.
The calyx is closed. The apple is oblate and a bit lopsided.
The chew
The crunch is subdued, and the flavors are delicate and well balanced, with hints only of white grapes and lemonade.
It's possible that these apples, though ripe, were not really at peak when picked. In this state, I find they are pleasant but not compelling.
ID check
Although I picked these summer apples up in early October, the orchard, Stone Mountain Farm, only lists the summer version on its website.
The grower has a chiller and was selling other summer apples in October, too.
"Rambour Franc" is an alternative name for this variety. However, that may be a name for a different apple.
