Great plant, but lacks taste,

"Based on all the previous reviews here raving over Brandyboy, I did something I don't usually do. I decided to not only try Brandyboy, but I even planted more of it than any other tomato this year. That was a mistake. While the plants are vigorous and the tomatoes large and plentiful, the bottom line in my book is taste, and that's where this tomato falls down. It's okay mine you, but is rather boring and lacks any true tomato bite. And the taste and texture are very inconsistent from one tomato to the next. Some are really bad, but even the good ones just don't compare to Better Boy itself. I've tried it out on lots of friends who didn't like it at all and opted for the Better Boy. I did find a decent use for it though, I fry them up red for breakfast and the taste is very nice that way. The problem is I now have lots of Brandyboys and not enough Better Boys. Lesson learned - when trying something new, stick with your favorite as the main crop and add 2 plants of the new variety until you decide if you like it."

"Planted with Brandywine and several other beefsteak varieties in a new garden near Asheville, NC in 2008. Brandyboy had the best vigor and was the heaviest producer among some 15 tomato varieties. Flavor was comparable to Brandywine -- some preferred it, others Brandywine. Will definitely plant this variety in 2009."
