One batch had a very nice slightly spicy flavour; usually the flavour is pleasant but the texture is the main attraction. The texture though seems to me slightly inferior to Macoun.

I'm not an Apple expert but location and time of picking can make a huge difference. Time and temperature in storage and length of storage will change apple taste and texture.

And not everyone's preference of texture is the same. I had a variety "Fall Gold" purchased from Stark Brothers Nursery some years back which my son thoroughly liked. It was very crisp, cracked like a small firecracker when you took a bite out of it and juicy with a bland flavor, I did not care for it in the slightest. Mutsu tends to be on the soft side, sweet and very flavorful which is one of my favorites and he didn't care for it at all because it isn't real crisp. Primary for my son is texture, for myself is taste. Texture and taste are subjective.
