I am a member of "The Backyard Fruit Growers" in PA. Every year we have an apple tasting in October, all members are asked to bring in samples of their fruit and it is placed on paper plates with the name on it. There are some that there is no known name and we try to identify those also.

 

There is a fair bit of difference in some cultivars grown by different growers indicatinf that variety is not the only consideration.We are asked to "rate" the top 5 samples and indicate why. This shows how really different people taste fruit.
