Granted, I'm a novice gardener, but I thought this was a decent enough variety. Not outstanding flavor, but I'm still experimenting and thus far haven't found any small tomato varieties to be much in that area. I did find it quite reliable and productive.

I just didn't like anything about this one. The plant was healthy enough but I felt for what I got from it, I could have used the space better. Most objectionable to me was the taste. It was just blah.
