Cabaret is bicoloured apple which is often almost entirely covered with a deep red blush. The peel is smooth and has quite prominent yellow lenticels. It is round to round conical in shape. On biting into the apple, there is a nice crack as the peel breaks, and an enjoyable rush of sweet juice filling the mouth. Sweet and juicy, with lightly crisp flesh is the overriding impression, followed by some chewiness to the peel.

Cabaret is very sweet without being too Saccharine, and the flesh is relatively soft, but still with a crack on biting.
