Thats hard to say, since I don't have slice to try.

I grew this melon this summer. It certainly was very, very aromatic, and I loved the look of the fruit. The taste was fine, but I wish it was a bit sweeter. Quite possibly the low sugar level was the result of harvesting it before the optimal ripeness, a common malaise among newbie melon growers like myself. I would say it was somewhat like cantaloupe. Overall, it's a grow-again.

I grew melons this year and noticed that the taste was much sweeter during the drier portions of the summer than the rainier portions. True!
