SOTW is balanced, tasting both sweetness and tartness at the same time, somewhat canceling each other out. This leads to the most complex of flavors in tomatoes, in my opinion.

AGP is overbalanced way over on the sweet side. For very sweet tomatoes it has the richest flavor, to me. And, the sweetness is unlike any other sweetness that I know of in a tomato. As an example, there is cane sugar, honey, maple syrup, etc...for sweeteners, all different in taste. While I can't perfectly describe AGP's sweetness, it seems to be closest to honey. This is the one and only tomato that makes my knees go weak.

And, my taste buds are unique to me. Most dark tomatoes don't do it, for me. Same with greens, striped, oranges, etc...

Your mileage may vary.

How interesting! I will need to get it and try it sometime.

My taste buds are also different. Hate that smokey flavor a lot of dark tomatoes get and I find.most discolors and yellows and oranges bland. There is an alkaloid flavor that comes tinged in some green tomatoes that i am not a fan of, and some of the whites can be either bland or too tropically fruity. Still like trying everything, though!
