Old German is a typical gold/red bicolor of which there are well over 200 named ones.

Most of them can be sweet and lucious one year and very bland and mealy the next year, for the same variety, so are very much influenced by weather.

There's no way that anyone can tell you what the taste of a variety might be, really, since taste is both perceptual and personal and there's even a human genetic factor involved.

And there are many variables that can influence taste as well,such as how plants are grown, were amendments used, if so which ones, how much and when, what is the soil like, where, geographically the plants are grown, what's the weather like in any one season,etc.

So what it comes down to is what you personally like for the taste of ANY variety you grow as I see it.
