I read your review and, you're right, it's carrot. I like it. Very juicy, firm, crunchy.Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-40529202455519228772012-01-14T22:38:46.645-05:002012-01-14T22:38:46.645-05:00@Anonymous above, I am similarly not a big fan of ...@Anonymous above, I am similarly <a rel="nofollow">not a big fan of Red Delicious.</a> But I find I do enjoy many varieties that have RD-like qualities, for instance Mollie's Delicious and Ambrosia.<br /><br />I think of these apples as delivering on some of the promise that Red Delicious makes but then is unable to fulfill.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245776593991049317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-57533093375646918272012-01-14T21:16:16.482-05:002012-01-14T21:16:16.482-05:00I wasn't expecting to like these much because ...I wasn't expecting to like these much because I'm not a fan of Red Delicious, but Sonya is a new favorite! I think the size is perfect for a quick snack and the taste is Gala-like but more delicate and nuanced. More sweet than tart and crisp but not too crisp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-36651270321077388302011-11-07T09:40:20.354-05:002011-11-07T09:40:20.354-05:00Matt, I don't think I have said how much I val...Matt, I don't think I have said how much I value your own observations that you have been posting as comments. You are an acute observer. (Thanks to your wife, too.)<br /><br />There are so many ways that my reviews may be limited, for instance if my tasting sample is off. I feel guilty about that sometimes, passing judgment on an apple variety that is older than I.<br /><br />It is great to have second opinions, and I hope my readers appreciate that. I do.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245776593991049317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-2861251836154531152011-11-06T18:14:28.233-05:002011-11-06T18:14:28.233-05:00I had my first one of these on Friday from the sup...I had my first one of these on Friday from the supermarket. It was very firm and quite delicious. Easy on the stomach as it has a light taste and very little acidity. The flavor was a bit tropical with the strongest taste being bananna. I also got a flavor of those orange circus peanut candies (not sure they are even food to this day). What a nice apple!Mattnoreply@blogger.com
