M$My absolute favorite though is a nice blush blend of red and yellow:
The Pink Lady apple!
They are the perfect combination of sweetness and tartness - a little bite for flavor, but not puckering. And the texture is nice and crisp, no mushiness. Not too big, not too small. And they work great for baking and applesauce! But my favorite is fresh out of the fridge!
This website below even describes them as having a "champagne-like" flavor!

They're found at most major supermarkets - but you have to look for them tucked to the side of most displays. And you may pay just a few more cents for them, because they're a relatively new apple (less than 10 years old I believe).
They're worth it though. Keep a look out for Pink Ladies next time you're at the fruit stand!

Is there a blood red shade variety of apple?
I was wondering about apples provoking sensuality and passion. I'm all for that, of course. But you usually don't find sensuality and passion in a supermarket. On the other hand, maybe that serpent was on to something?
Lol I didn't read the question properly!!! I prefer granny smith apples for sure. Its one of the tastier and sweeter out of the three.
Now, the apple that I enjoy drinking would have to be Strongbow.
It's the best hard cider. Extra dry with a nice 'colorful' kick!

That's so crazy - we were just talking about Strongbow this very morning here at the office.
Seems like minds (and genius) think alike!
I have tried them together at beer tastings, although not recently. I remember the Granny Pippin cider as a bit more tart. It's interesting that ciders show up at beer tastings, as do perries and meads, but not at wine tastings.
Having a Scottish heritage, I think I was weened on cider.
Woodchuck is my favorite on draft, but in the bottle I still prefer the cool and dry Strongbow! (hiccup)
Do you think the colors are natural or added?
@albanian Do you notice much of a difference between the red and green woodchucks? I have had both but never side by side to compare so I don't know if there is a big difference in taste.
@albanian I've noticed that about tastings as well. I think it has to do with the "typical" individual that goes to the different kind of tastings. I've noticed, at least in my area, that those that find an interest in the Wine tastings have very little idea what they are doing and are involved because they feel it is "hip"... on the other side those that get involved in beer tastings are there because they have a true interest in the subject and have an open mind to new/different things.
@gno Thanks for the info! I recently purchased the Pear cider but have not had a chance to open one up... I'm thinking my next beer tasting is going to be ciders, just so I can try them all for comparison. Also, great source!!
They don't color the ciders, the cider from red apples is browner and the cider from the green apples is almost clear.
Cider is a great change of pace. Did you know Woodchuck makes a Granny Pippen cider, so you have a choice of colors in cider too? (only red or green, I think).
http://www.briansbelly.com/beerbelly/woodchuckgranny.shtml
@spoon, The red-label ("Amber") Woodchuck isn't as tart as the green-label ("Granny Smith") Woodchuck. They used to make a yellow-label that was very sharp and dark (since discontinued).
And there's always the beige-labeled "Pear" Woodchuck cider, and the pink-labeled "raspberry" Woodchuck cider, for a change of pace.
They also have an orange-labeled "802" cider...but haven't tried it and have no idea what it's like. ;)

Is there an orange variety? It would not be impossible.
It seems there is, and by report an unusually good one too. But it is apparently hard to grow and found locally in England and New Zealand. It's called the Cox's Orange Pippin, although it is not as orange as an orange.

I agree with you albanian.
I know, right?
I was surprised at the return on this one too!
But hey, people like apples - that said, I doubt you'd get the same response if you'd asked about, say, potatoes...
I was thinking about trying oranges next. That way I could compare apples and oranges.
I'm really surprised at how many answers this question is getting. Mostly they are good or at least reasonable answers too. Apparently, this is a question of some import perhaps, or of debate in some families. Or maybe it's just easy to answer.

Yours is the 23rd answer! Arrrrrghhhh! Why don't I get such a response on my more serious questions? What is so special about apples? Maybe I should try to figure out what to learn from this, or make a Mahalo page or something?

A second yellow. Glad you have some at hand! Hurray for apples! It looks like green is ahead, probably because the green Granny Smith Pippin is the best of the more common varieties on supermarket shelves. However, there are many excellent reds if you look beyond the mainstream varieties.

oops. I missed the word apple. sorry. I do like red best for eating. green for cooking pies
I agree completely. Many people post answers without addressing the question. It's rather irritating.
where in your question does it say the word "eat"
I don't understand your answer. Do you eat flowers, clothes, trees, and plants?
The clarified answer is helpful. One other person so far read as far as color and didn't notice the apple bit. Seems very odd to me, one can't answer questions well without reading them carefully. Quality is a better goal than quantity here.
There is nothing better than picking apples fresh from the orchard on a crisp fall day. I generally come home with tons-- for eating, baking, and apple butter. I live in the heart of apple country here in Central Massachusetts, so its big part of life in the autumn.
I generally do my picking at Nashoba Valley Winery, which includes not only orchards and a winery-- but a microbrewery...bringing this apple question full circle to beer.

I remember Macouns! They are great, but you can't get them down here. When I lived in western Massachusetts I could go to an orchard and pick from a variety of fine, fresh apples. Not in the south though.
