Dwarf Sweet Sue was a surprise. From the name, I was expecting a sweet tomato, but these were tart. They ranged from mildly tart to tart like a lemon. They're beautiful to look at, and I love the growth habit of the plants, but the taste was shocking.
I learned something today about this variety, and I want to take back my previous assessment. I had been picking these tomatoes when they were canary yellow, and they were all tart. So I stopped eating them a few weeks ago. I was out in the garden today, and noticed that one had turned from bright yellow to more of a goldenrod color. I tried it, and WOW what a difference. Tangy, SWEET, and delicious! Hard to describe the flavor, because I've never tasted a tomato like this before, but it was reminiscent of green table grapes or sweet lemonade. I will be growing this one again next year!
