This website made my weekend

“but instead has the not so subtle flavor of a urine-soaked gas station bathroom floor” – Well, they say everyone is entitled to their opinion. Now, I’m not going to type here and say the Autumn Glory apple is the best apple on the market, but I’ve had worse. It’s also is my spouse’s favorite apple, behind the Cosmic Crisp and then the Honey Crisp. So, while I will admit that an apple that already has a hint of cider built into it isn’t for everyone, I think we can all agree that anyone who goes around sampling urine soaked bathroom floors, may not have the most reliable taste buds. I give you 7 points for the humor, but 0 points for the accuracy of your review. I would say this to anyone who read the review then made it to the comments, don’t take THE APPLEIST’s word for it on the Autumn Glory. Buy one, try it yourself, then respond with your thoughts in the comments. I think you would be hard pressed to find an apple that actually tastes as bad as bile or urine, but then again, I’ve never sampled urine, so I guess THE APPLEIST is more worldly than I am.

Dude your taste buds are screwed. Hands down the best apple I have ever tasted. The only thing that is close is a sugar bee. Maybe you need to try it again and buy it from someone else. Most people in the comments disagree with you.

Now, having eaten my very first autumn glory apple, I will say that the flavor is a little flat. I do not have any experience, nor do I anticipate trying, urine sprinkled with cinnamon in my mouth. However, I did find that the slightly flat flavor is more than offset by the fabulously crisp and juicy texture. I believe that more than half of the apple-eating experience is about texture. This would be an excellent Carmel apple candidate so that the nuts and Carmel can contrast with the crisp, juicy texture. A very good apple in my opinion, but not the best I’ve ever eaten.

I haven’t had a bad autumn glory yet, but this review reminds me of what happens to ambrosia in bad years. I love both varieties- when ambrosia is having a good year- but ambrosia sometimes taste YES LIKE AN UNDER-CLEANED PUBLIC RESTROOM SMELLS.

I opt for autumn glory instead for it’s reliably “fall-baking-flavored” goodness- but apparently I need to count myself lucky because I’ll readily believe they can have an off year (even if perhaps regionally?). This is why I try everything every year and at different points in the harvesting/selling/storage season. Some apples need to sit after picking, others will fail to live up to standards if they sit at all, and some are just BAD some years (or all the time). Some years Pink Pearl is the true queen of the pie apples- with red flesh an absurd density and bubblegum taste like a green apple bubblepop- and others the fruit is literally ruined and brown inside.

It’s a shame to miss out on an apple at the peak of its marketed quality, so I always try, but I rank apples in my head by “reliability”, and whatever causes an apple to be controversial among apple geeks must make a given variety worthy of a low reliability rating.

This rating of this apple(Autumn Glory) is opposite of reality. It’s very sweet. It’s super crisp. It’s medium to strong in tartness. Great flavor. The guy who reviewed this apple lives in a trailer park in SloTown.

Dear mr appleist, I just had a Rave apple, searched for its parentage…and holy Christ, am I glad I found your site! Rave is indeed the coby tv honeycrisp. Clicked on Cameo. I’ve eaten plenty because they’re cheap, but no more, I’m through tolerating them. Clicked on autumn glory. I tried several a couple years ago, believing the hype, read a review on another site and was like, oh, yeah, they do suck. Anyway, you’re quite the humorist, I look forward to reading every last review, and if you resort to a little poetic license that’s ok by me. “Well, science has finally created an apple that tastes like the spit in your mouth right before you vomit.” Fooking brilliant, that.

I’m eating one of these right now. Honestly, I like the taste. To be fair, I have drank urine, by accident of course, while deployed overseas with the military when I grabbed the wrong bottle. To compare this to urine is quite off the course of truthfulness. It’s possible your mouth was full of semen at the time and that is what you were tasting. I taste notes of sugar cane followed by cider and ending with the almond extract notes. While it’s not for semen lovers, of course, this apple is one to try if you like the flavor of almond extract. If you don’t, keep filling your stomach with man protein.

This apple is awesome. Got a bag yesterday. Has a hint of sugar candy. Love this apple. You should seek a doctor.

JWWW
Just tasted this apple and I love out. Not surprised learn that one parent in Fuji. Crisp, refreshing, mildly spicy.

I just had my first Autumn Glory apple this week and the juice of it tasted like what I would imagine a cup of warm water would taste like if you swirled a grape tootsie pop in it for about 60 seconds. It was very bland, not very sweet but it was watery. Unfortunately, I bought two of them, so the next one I will pairing with a copious amount of peanut butter.

Okay, who bases their apple buying/eating choices on the opinion of someone who knows what ‘a urine-soaked gas station bathroom floor’ tastes like? Hard pass. With or without the ‘spilled cinnamon.’

The comments do not disappoint and the honest detailed review is my kind of food review. Most apples do not bring me joy. I’m a granny-smith – give me the tart kind of connoisseur. Although I did eat a freshly picked from the tree reddish apple and it was phenomenal but I have no idea what kind it was, so I’ll stick to my green apples. I appreciate the humor and descriptions here! I trust the urine floor review more than the “these are the best ever apples.” Because…my taste buds are not adventurous.

This site is beautiful. Thank you so much. I just found it and I’m laughing so hard. You’re a genious.
