I found this variety in Manfred Hahm's seed listing at Reinhard Kraft's site. Any time I see beefsteak, PL my curiosity gets aroused. It's a Red, PL ind. with fruit size up to 700 grams. This variety goes back to 1885 and came from Michigan accoding to VentMarin.
This is the first fruit off my plant which indeed is PL, vigorous and already past the 6 foot mark. Al Anderson (OHANA) is the only one listing it in the SSE yearbook except he lists it as an RL which is incorrect. The flavor I found truly describes the meaning of "Old Fashion Tomato Taste". Slap a slice on a BLT and you've got the real deal. Ami
