Can anyone tell me about this variety? How does it taste?

Taste is excellent. Also very cold hardy. I put my tree under a few palms & now have to graft a new one & cut the old one down, it is laying out sideways trying to get sun.

Does it actually taste like a Grapefruit? It's a mandarin, sweet pummelo hybrid, so I'm curious.

Yes it tastes like a very sweet grapefruit.

Large, seedy and excellent.

Well, that is two thumbs up from two forum VIP's. Cocktail is on the want list!!! I'm not a big grapefruit fan, so this one looked like something I might like.

I normally do not care for grafefruit but do like both the Golden and Cocktail.
