APPEARANCE 5 out of 5 stars

Bright red skin with white flesh

AROMA 4.5 out of 5 stars

Strong, sugary and floral

TEXTURE 4 out of 5 stars

Soft and juicy, slightly grainy but with a cool mouth feel

TASTE 4.5 out of 5 stars

Sweet and flowery with lots of personality and complexity

OVERALL 4.5 out of 5 stars

This is a creamy, floral pear with beautiful skin and flesh. Generally being likened to a pear isn’t particularly flattering, akin to being called plump and disproportionate, but if I was being compared to a Starkrimson I would say thank you and smile for the rest of the day.
