Finally, got my first Brandywine. I tasted it next to a German Stripe
and an Early Girl. The Brandywine and the Early Girl certainly have more
acid than the German Stripe. Tasting in the order from Brandywine to
German Stripe yielded little difference. Tasting from German Stripe to
Brandywine was more informative (at least to me). The German Stripe was
more delicate in flavor. I wasn't that impressed with its' perfume this
time but this was after dinner. There was a noticeable increase in the
acidity and perhaps flavor in the Early Girl. There was a more
noticeable increase in flavor in the Brandywine (vis--vis) the Early
Girl but it wasn't a great difference. The German Stripe may have been a
bit sweeter, which may have accounted for the less acidic taste.

This is the first time I have tried this and it may be that the
constellations of flavors in each tomato will take me awhile to
recognize. It was very interesting though. Anyone else care to share
their impressions of comparison tasting of tomatoes or other fruits?
