    AAA Sweet Solano is one of the introductions from Wild Boar Farms in California.

    I really thought I would love this one because the ripe fruits look very tasty. They are a deep yellow, almost golden color. The tomatoes start out yellow with green stripes and turn into golden orange tomatoes.

    Many of them cracked for me, but we have had an excessive amount of rain this season. What really turned me off was that I just did not like the taste of these. Very difficult for me to describe the hint of aftertaste I get. On the Wild Boar Farms description, they state that it has a hint of tropical fruit. I think the taste is odd, and what I am tasting does not belong in the flavor of a tomato.
