Something about the Northern Spy apple screams ‘Fall:’ the colors are a mix between green and red, and it has that brownness at the top. It looks like a fall fruit. Tastes like one too. It has the flavor profile of cider. Tart, a little acidic, but has some sweetness lurking about. The texture was not crunchy or crispy; it was softer and mealier. I did not mind that: the texture complimented the taste. If it was crunchy and crisp I think it would have been too sharp of an apple.
Overall it was everything I expected out of it.
