No alcohol flavors, but the flesh which has off the tree a sweet/tart balance 
more 
on the tart side, had become more like a large MacIntosh: sweeter and the 
flesh 
more tender. The thick skin, which had detered all curc damage, could be 
keeping 
gases in? I really don't know. The thing I always thought has weird about 
this 
apple was the skin. When you tap on the apple, it almost sounds partly 
hollow, and 
partly like it is ready to burst, and when you bite into it, and then tap on 
it, 
the same sound is gone, as if the pressure has been breached. 
You folks tell me,
Thanks,
Heron
