A distinctive small apple, pale golden yellow, egg-shaped with a small shallow eye and a long stalk. Very sharp!

Early mid season

Very sharp, almost citric. SG 1041, sugar 12.5%, acidity 1.68%, tannin 4.4 g/l

 

Cider

 

Unlikely to make a drinkable cider on its own but could be useful blended to give a clean, sharp tang to a mediocre sweet or bittersweet cider.
