Default Besser?

Probably not. The seeds came to me in a trade as Besser, which is supposed to be a Sungold-size red cherry, at least according to Heirloom Seed's description:

"#137 - BESSER★★ 75 days - From the southern area of Germany (Freiburg region), this old favorite dates back to the 1800's, and is a must for any tomato lover!★ The plants produce 3/4 inch diameter fruit in clusters of up to 12, very sweet, cherry tomatoes. The vigorous vines need strong cages for support.★ Best tasting cherry tomato we've tried!★ Proudly introduced in the United States by Heirloom Seeds.★★ Indeterminate vines."

My plant is definitely determinate, currently about 3' tall and it really wants to be a bush. The cherries are quite big. Taste is a strange kind of sweet.
