Here's thread from 2009 with a little explanation.

And here's another GWRipe that originated with Reinhard Kraft in Germany, which I also like very much and it's PL;

In the thread you linked to there were several comments about not being amber blushed, but it turns out that in the south the large GWRipes don't always develop that amber blush but do when grown in more cool climates.

Many folks were claiming that Green Giant didn't develop an amber blush so Craig sent seeds of his to a couple of us and they sure did, we being in the northern climes.

Reinhard grows his tomatoes in a greenhouse where it's quite warm, so he didn't see the amber blush either.
