The plant was quickly overtaken by what looks like early blight, and the tomatoes were almost all sun scalded by the lack of leaf cover before they could ripen.
I got one tomato off of it, then put the bush out of its misery. Might try the variety again, in a drier area with some shade next time. The one tomato was tangy yet sweet, with very firm flesh. It almost had a squash-like taste I was picking up in the background. Not bad, but I think I prefer Aunt Gertie Gold and KBX when it comes to yellow-orange tomatoes.
Attempting again in 2021, got a small plant at a local nursery.

Delicious tasting! I've even witnessed someone who dislikes red tomatoes (my daughter!) really fell in love w/this one! On a 1-10 scale I give it an 8! (Flavor, growth habit, disease resistance.)

Yields are very low compared to pink Brandywine and the flavor is not to my liking. Most of the yellow/gold beefsteak cultivars are superior in my opinion.

It tends to attract whiteflies. If you place a yellow plate or butter carton top or similar item and coat it with vaseline near the plant it attracts the whiteflies to it and they stick there and die. This is the best method we have found for getting rid of whiteflies.
