scovilles Sugar Rush Peach Scoville?

Not sure if anyone has had the scoville testing done on them yet :think:
from the few phenotypes I have tasted i'd say it varies quite a bit.
 
from low end of baccatum type heat, up to a considerable lick of heat, but nothing extreme on any of them. 
i find it hard to compare the heat profile of baccatums to other more common peppers like Jalapeno or Habanero, it's different to me.
i would say that none of the ones i tasted are hotter in scoville scale than a good Serrano, but again the heat is different.
most were comparable i guess to average jalapeno as far as burn intensity, but the flavor oh my gosh the flavor  :metal:  they are truly Sweet  :)
 
i found the sugar rush peach long pheno to be lower in heat than the rounder/bell shaped phenotype, but the rounder/bell shaped one had a much sweeter taste along with that heat (this may have been due to ripeness at time of picking, I did not grow the ones i sampled, but i think they were as peach as they were gonna get)
 
Personally i prefer the Cream round phenotype (maybe because i've grown them and had the ripest freshest just picked off the plant fully ripe taste)
 
I plan on growing several different phenos of Sugar Rush next year to compare them all at the same time.
What i choose to grow in the future will ideally be the ones that produce mature fruit the earliest as i have a short growing season outdoors and i find they take a while to ripen.
But i am more likely to choose to grow whichever i think taste the best. After all I grow plenty of other long season varieties.
 
 
Since taste as well as perception of different capsacinoid intensities varies quite a bit from individual to individual I suggest trying just a slice, and even if you find they are mild, offer just a slice at first when giving a sample to someone else (I have told people oh this one is mild and handed them an aji omnicolor, they looked at me like they hate me for a few minutes after eating it :lol: clearly my mild was different than their mild :rofl:  )
 
all of them I have tasted I have enjoyed, Sugar Rush; peach, cream, round, long, whatever they are tasty peppers. Can't go wrong with a sugar rush IMO
 
 
 
:cheers:
 
 
Mine vary quite a bit in size, shape and heat. A few plants are producing monster peppers!

I've seen different shapes of Sugar Rush Peach but never one that looked like that.  It must be a cross, surely?  Apart from anything else, it's not peach coloured.

I loved this pepper, it's so sweet and juicy with heat slightly above a Hab. I made a mistake of picking my first few pods not quite ripe/mature, IMO for best results you need to wait till the pod colour resembles that of a over-ripe Banana ...when the bright yellow starts to dull a bit.

 
 
Bright yellow???  Mine mature from a pale green through a creamy colour to peach.  Bright yellow does not enter into the equation.
 
These are what mine look like (second from left):

The bright yellow ones are Aji Pineapple.
 
Habaneros are too hot for me to comfortably snack on and Ii snack on my Sugar Rush Peach right in my garden. Maybe it's just mine. I got some in a box from Jimmy Pickles and those were hotter than mine but less sweet. I don't know what to think anymore.
