fruit flavor

Apple or grape

Fruit flavor describes a taste characteristic of or resembling fruit—sweet, tangy, or both.

The phrase often appears on packaging for products that mimic fruit taste without containing actual fruit: fruit-flavored candy, fruit flavor added.

In casual use, it can describe anything with fruity notes: This wine has a nice fruit flavor.
