Gilpin is a cider apple, so it may or may not be good to eat. Bitter? Sourball? Let's see. This medium-sized fruit is ribbed, lumpy, and riddled with stress-lines of russet. It's pretty well blushed over yellow-green, dark in spots. The small light lenticels get lost with all the other stuff on the surface of this apple. Gilpin has a cidery aroma and a shiny, waxy skin.
