oh boy- have you opened up a can of worms

You will usually get the same standard line that tastes vary and you will have to judge sweetnes for yourself.
I love sweet tomatoes and have been growing several varieties in search of a sweet tomato.

As of right now-nothing beats a sungold picked at full ripeness. super sweet.

some tomatoes listed as sweet end up tatsing bland. They are not so much sweet as lacking an acidity. That is why it gets tough to describe sweetness in other types. For instance momotaro is often described as sweet but for me it just tasted bland. other varieties are like that too.

Brandywine sudduth has a nice complex flavor that is not too sweet not too acid.

good luck
