Yes, but lemon juice sour, not unripe japonica sour. It doesn't
take the roof of your mouth off.
Fair screws yer face up though. Could that be the root of 'sorrow', I wonder?

I disagree, somewhat. A slight 'herby' flavour, but less than a
lemon. Comparable to lemon juice.
I remember it as having a slight flavour of 'leaf' laced with a not
unpleasant sour bitterness.
