So first off, I was really excited to get to pull a pepper from my garden and eat it.  Hopefully, it is an indication of what is to come!  

On taste.  I really enjoyed the flavor of this one.  My favorites are always the yellows, and this one was no different.  I would say it was very citrusy, but a bit more subdued than the TS Yellow.  Overall a great tasting pod that I can imagine a number of uses.  

On Heat.  It was pretty damn hot, but not unbearable.  It was definitely on the top tier of the yellows, but still not as hot as any red or brown pod I have eaten.  Interestingly, it didn't have the typical 7 Pot "Coal" burn.  It was more focused on the affected areas, e.g. the side of my tongue and along my cheek.  The heat built for about 3 minutes, plateaued, and then peaked and dropped at about 5 and change.  It is 20 minutes later now and I have no heat in my mouth.  But I do have the taste :)

On Stomach Pain.  So far so good.  Right now there is no stomach discomfort.  I ate a decent meal, and then had a few tsps of Peanut Butter (thanks Pepper Community) because I had no maylox or mylanta on hand I figured I would start with PB and if it didn't work I would try something else.  As an aside, I have never had stomach discomfort from a yellow pod, so it may just be that....

Anyways, to sum things up, this is a good mid-level Super or a really good Yellow super for your garden.  If your goal is to load your garden with as much face melting pods as possible and you are limited on space, I would pass on this and add in something red or brown.  If your goal is to have a diverse garden and not everything is there to turn coal into diamonds, this one is a great addition.  Once my yellow 7s ripen, I will let you know which I recommend if you were to choose between the two.  

Thanks for watching!
