Smooth, glossy, non-russeted finish with inconspicuous lenticels, very attractive. Thin s1dn develops greasy cuticle after 6 to 8 weeks in refrigerated storage.
Flesh is pale yellow, crisp and slightly breaking yet melting, medium to fine grained.
Mildly acid to sweet, slightly spicy, moderately rich, full flavored. Retains excellent quality and texture at least 4 to 6 weeks in refrigerated storage but remains edible for at least 12 weeks, quite remarkable for an apple of this season. Shows some scald and bruising in storage. Mid to late mid-season. July 20 to August 3 at Lafayette, Indiana.
