Lady Alice Apple Review
"A Perfectly Nice Lady"
This non-playable character of an apple, spawned by a freak accident involving a tractor blade and a Red Delicious tree (not a joke), is an unremarkable background extra with no distinguishable qualities beyond a mildly interesting Victorian-Era sticker. Confusingly named “Lady Alice”, since this apple has nothing to do with the much more famous Pink Lady, Alice has a middling candy-like sweetness, a skin that won’t offend, and a juiciness that’ll have to do, I guess. Alice is a perfectly nice lady, but like an office colleague who sits somewhere over there, you will forget this apple’s name in the elevator even though it may have joined you for lunch on multiple occasions.

I definitely prefer Lady Alice apples to Lady Lady apples, at least the ones my Canadian grocery store sells. LA are consistently crisp while PL are softer and less flavourful. To each his own!
I just had an Organic Lady Alice for the first time today and it was fantastic! Crisp and tart, but a bit sweet at the same time. It was so delicious I picked through my trash to find the label so I could buy it again. 5/5 stars.
Nice! I’ll try to find some more
Wait you picked through trash disgusting
I can’t think of a more tasteless metaphor for what a bloody apple tastes like. The apple is great, but your writing here is rubbish.
Yeah, it’s pretty degrading and sours the otherwise entertaining variety of descriptions on the site.
Yeah – you’re probably right. I’ll write a new one
Apparently the tester had a poor quality Lady Alice. It is true that they are not always superb when older but a good Lady Alice is one of my top apples. I love trying new apples. I always get 2 apples whenever I see a new variety I haven’t tried before so I have tried a lot of varieties. With Lady Alice I fill a bag and then come back for more. The thing not even mentioned is typically have had a touch of spiced apple pie flavor to me. At the end of their season they definitely start to seem a bit more regular but if you are ranking apples it would make sense to have them fresh and try some from several apples.
