Crimson Gold Apple Review

"A Crabapple in Disguise"

Crimson Gold Apples

These little shits are glorified crabapples masquerading as edible fruit and should not be tolerated outside of cider production and pretentious baking applications. Each minuscule bite of these filthy monkey cheeks explode with an intense yet somehow dry flavor combination that will make you want to spontaneously vomit. Do not be fooled by this repackaged trash, Crimson Gold is just a misleading name slapped on a swollen testicle.

  1. Have you tried the new(ish) Crimson Gold (Svatava cultivar)? Because that one is definitely not this far down the list.

  2. I first encountered these at a local farmer’s market labeled under their original name “Little Rosybloom” and the flavor was phenomenal, one of the best apples I’ve ever tasted.

    After several years of not spotting these little gems anywhere I finally found them under their new name “Crimson Gold” at a Sprout’s market and was overjoyed at my find…until I bit into it. It was bland, dry, and only had faint hints of the original taste I remember. I’ve since bought more bags this last season and sadly it’s the same disappointment.

    I don’t know what happened but the amazing little rosybloom seems to have lost it’s soul along with it’s name. Perhaps the current climate and growing location aren’t favorable to it’s flavor development.
