**Two Apples (INW) 1.5%/2.5% (7-6-25)** -- What an INTERESTING flavor to test. I had assumed it would be a simple Red Delicious, Green Apple pairing, but it was actually quite a bit different than that. I stated this one lower at 1.5% and it tasted like a muted Red Apple, BUT, when I doubled it, it came alive !!! NOW, I had all kinds of nuances and notes that were totally missing at the lower weight. The main two notes were a Red Delicious, and a Golden Delicious. Sprinkled in, were hints of Green Apple, some light Apple Cider, AND (as if those weren't enough), at times I got a light Candied Apple note. Wow, wow, wow. Smelling it on the bottle wasn't very close, as it smelled more like a Granny Smith.

I'm not sure if I've had a flavor change as much as this one did by doubling. You might be able to take it up to 3%, but 2.5% seemed very good. Plenty of skin, juiciness, and tart. Sweetness was a few ticks below mid-level, and the complexity of this one could not be ovestated. A very natural, and perky flavor with just enough bite. It some Fuji-like overtones, but it stayed squarely in the Red, and Golden camp throughout. Not baked, jammed, or candied. I could see tons of uses for this one, where a natural, juicy apple was required. 3 testers later, I couldn't not find anything to complain about, despite looking. All in, a very complex, layered apple combo, that centered around Red, and Golden apples, with nice cider, skin, and slight candied apple undertones that kept you guessing. Hard to nit-pick this one. Not the strongest, so don't be afraid to boost it up a bit, because THEN, it opens up !!!! Handily a **9.9/10**. Just almost perfect. Maybe it should have been called Two Apples, and THEN some ....."."
