I've never met a "Pink" tomato I didn't like. My current database shows more than 100 varieties. But, my favorites from the last couple of years are:
Pappy's Dream Rebel Yell Brandywine Pink (From a commercial plant I purchased. Really large fruits, lots of fruits, Mid season ripe) African Queen German Queen A half dozen dwarfs Two more I'm Working on.

Rebel Yell, Brandywine From Croatia, but I think Rebel Yell is the one I would grow between the two. Did great for me the last two seasons.

Cleota Pink is my favorite. Besides being an Tennessee heirloom, it has several traits that appeal to me.
It does have a good taste Can grow very large, my record is 3 pounds, average size is 1 1/2 pounds Good production No CORE !!!!!!!! |

Rebel Yell is getting a lot of attention. I would imagine many of you have already seen/read this link http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Rebel_Yell
For us last year, Rebel Yell grew large plants with good sized tomatoes. It grew that way in a RKN infested garden. Bradley is another we are probably going to grow this year. The year we grew Bradley was a record setting rainfall year. It still produced well even with almost every day rain. It grew Semi Determinate for us. The downside was a short shelf life. |

Bradley is delicious, every bit as tasty as Rebel Yell. It's another reddish pink that I forget is pink.

In my seed binder on the same page as Bradley, I found a pack of seeds that says Brandy Boy - OP - F 11 - 2014 Pink PL. So I looked it up http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Brandy_Boy
Variety type de-hybridized I also looked up the hybrid form. It looks and sounds like a good pink tomato. |

Caspian Pink did well here, and was absolutely delicious! It produced far earlier than I had expected for a beefsteak (first one ripened 68 days after planting out; estimated DTM is 80). Others might know how well it tolerates heat, since it originated in a cold climate. Then again, we endured a month-long heatwave in July in the Northeast; some blossoms dropped, but the Caspian Pink plant didn't fare as badly as, say, Cherokee Purple or German Striped.
