A high-quality bitter sharp cider apple producing a sharp juice with little astringency and a bright fresh acid. It is a bitter sharp, but the tannins are quite mild. Often listed as a "blending variety" because it can be quite tart if pressed when it is under ripe. However, it has also made an excellent, perfectly balanced English style single varietal cider. This apple also has aromas characteristic of bitter sweet apples, that leathery pear like smell. About 10% of the fruits are distinctively fused together. The green portions will turn gold in storage. Ripens late October to early November. and must be held for a month before pressing.
