tangy taste
Citrus-like mouth feel
A tangy taste is sharp and pleasantly acidic, with a slight bite that stimulates the tongue.
Citrus fruits, vinegar, yogurt, and fermented foods all have tangy tastes.
The phrase is somewhat redundant since tangy already describes a taste, but it's common in food writing and conversation: The sauce had a tangy taste that cut through the richness of the meat.
