What kind of flavors do you look for in a hot pepper? I mainly look for a fruity flavor, what would you recommend that has an amazing fruity or citrus type flavor?

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

BOC and orange fatalii are the best I've found for citrus flavor. They smell like tangerines.
What heat level?
Mild I'd go Aji fantasy, lemon drop, Venezuelan tiger.
Hot I'd go MoA scotch bonnet, paper lanterns habanero.
Super, I'd go yellow Brain strain, Yellow CARDI scorpion, and peach bhut.
But that's just my opinion and you know what they say about those.....
Just saw you like nuttiness. Def try the Pimenta De Neyde or anytging that's crosses with the PDN.
And that's not a list of what tastes fruity to me, it's just a sample of what I like.
Also, CGN 21500

I love the smokeyness of bhuts, sweetness of cheyenne, as well as the citusy flavour you get in some. What I can't really like is the pungent almost acidic taste you get in some peppers.
A pod I tried recently was a orange scotch bonnet long grown by trident chilli which was amazing and I'm sure I could taste a tangerine flavour. This pod was among the best I have ever tasted and looked beautiful as well.

Fatalii. Any yellow or orange Bonnet.
I like the "earthy-ness" of habanero's.
Sweetness of bishops crown and brazilian starfish
citrusy of yellow fatalii.
My 2 newest favorites come from Aji Amarillo and Orange Scotch Bonnet although I couldn't tell you if they were more citrus or sweet but a combination of both and perfect heat level for me.

+1 for aji amarillo. Tons of fruitiness and citrus flavors. I was really surprised by that one this year.
And for pure fruitiness, I'd have to go with Caribbean reds, wild Brazil and some Scotch bonnets (P. Dreadie, TFM...).
Poblano for its proper capsicum flavour - if green then roasted or raw. Ripe - roasted or stuffed.
Piment de Padron - (must be green) shallow fried in olive oil til blistered and served with a good smattering of sea salt
Tepin - (green or ripe) awesome woody flavour and kicks like a mule. Pickle the green ones - awesomeness!
Goat's Weed - green/black (unripe) - the most aromatic annuum and kicks like a mule in the balls
Aji Amarillo - delicious fruitiness and an intense deep burn like a rocoto. The best C. baccatum.
CARDI Yellow Scorpion - one of the best Scotch Bonnets - probably better than MOA. Very fruity with strong citrus overtones, sweet crunchy flesh with a decent burn.
Bhut Jolokia - unbelievable citrus aroma - like peeling a mandarin.
