Ginger Gold Apples

I just had a chance to read what will be in  our share next week.  Ginger Gold Apples are one of the   So I did a bit of research and found the following on Wikipedia...

Ginger Gold is one of the earliest commercial apple varieties to ripen, bearing in August on the east coast (mid-July in North Carolina) and July in California. The fruit is large, conical and starts out a very pale green, though if left on the tree will ripen to a soft yellow with a slightly waxy appearance.
The primary use is for eating out of hand, though it can be used for most other purposes. The flesh, of a cream color, resists browning more than most varieties. The flavor is mild but with a tart finish. Makes excellent apple pies.
Does anyone know if this is what I would call a Golden Delicious Apple?
