But.... it needs a very sunny place . Dont pick it too soon, his full flavor is when it shows red and orange. But it is worth the wait....

Thanks, I will put that on my list of ones to check out for next year.

I got a very sweet tomato from one of my New Big Dwarf's, maybe the sweetest full size tomato of the year. The other NBD plants had a tomato wack to them, but the one plant produced very sweet treats, that my friend calls the tomato lollipop.

I also found a Fred Limbaugh that is very sweet, where most are sweetish, with tomato fullness, one is sweeter.

For a hybrid, Momotaro has been pretty sweet too.

Milks' Red Bulgarian- sweetest large red beefsteak that I have tried
Lyana-for a smaller red
Lucky Cross, Little Lucky, Striped Sweetheart- bi-colours, striped
Sutton- for a white tomato
Sekai Ichi-for a pink
and for the Ultimate in sweetness- CASEY"S PURE YELLOW
Hope this helps,
Jeff

I don't know that different people really perceive tastes all that differently, but I do know that the word "sweet" means different things to different people. To some people, it means that something tastes like it has a lot of sugar in it. When people talk about high brix, this is the definition of sweet they're using.
To others, "sweet" means "not acidic." With less acidity, the sugar is more noticeable, even if there's not much of it.
It's quite possible for a high-brix tomato, full of sugar, to also be so acidic that some may call it "not sweet." It's also possible for a low-brix tomato to seem "sweet" if it has no acidity to balance what little sugar it has.
You could figure out which definition of "sweet" matters to you, and seek out tomatoes that fit tha definition. Or just plant Sungold, which practically everyone likes.

for my taste, Sunsugar is the sweetest. then got Sweet Aperitif from Jeff Casey last year and i think it's as sweet if not sweeter than Sunsugar.

i'm also on the lookout for a full-size that's sweet as Sunsugar. after having tried over 100 varieties i'm beginning to think that there's no such thing. although Virginia Sweets and Kosovo are close and reliably so over the years.

am now on the lookout for a sweet dwarf. any suggestions?

For dwarf I would recommend Sweet Sue. Very good. Many people agrees on that one.
