I tried my first ripe one today. Excellent taste -- slightly on the "zippy" side, but not too much so. Pretty small core, tender and juicy, and yes, definitely red w/yellow skin. My estimate on the weight was a little low. These are probably closer to ~4-10 oz. This morning I picked a slightly bigger one at 7.7 oz. This is an ideal size to me. Just right for slices or cut up in a couple of salads.
