Heaven knows what it will be like but apparently, the fruits are

We had 'Devon Beauty' at the training centre. Very nice small tree,
but don't think about biting into the fruits before they're over-ripe
or have been frosted. When ready, they have a very pleasant, slightly
'figgy' flavour, but eaten too soon and they give a new meaning to the
word astringent! As with almost all of the large fruited Sorbus, they
are best treated like a medlar and used after they've been frosted.
