Tangy, Sour taste: Doesn't anyone else taste that?

The ingredients say cheddar and blue cheese, which would explain the tangy flavor.

I don't notice any seafood flavor, so I asked my family, and they say it's either a dried oyster or clam taste. At one time, they used to put actual dried oyster in it to give it flavor. I don't think it's fishy at all.

As for me, I don't think any food taste as good as the one cooked on charcoal. A friend of mine told me that it's all in my head, and he couldn't tell the difference. So yeah, I'm not much help. Sorry.

I would return them. There shouldn't be a smell or a strong taste. Ours have none.

I find the pollen to have no identifiable taste. scattering out the pollen in my palm before swallowing, there is no indication of dirt or (yuck) dead beads. Each bead is quickly dissolved as I much down and the taste is neither sweet or sour, more like wheat germ. No unpleasant to my taste buds. Enjoy the end to sinus allergies!

I didn't notice that on mine. It sounds weird but you might try licking it and seeing if it tastes like anything. For better or worse your food will end up tasting like anything you cook it in. If it tastes like nothing you are fine.

Agree w/Jeff...haven't tried all flavors,but the ones I did try taste what they were called. Watermelon is my fav so far.

Nope; no sour taste. This is an awesome blend of herbs. I add it to almost everything I can.

I bought the mint flavor and it's not bad at all. I have taken it by the spoonful, but most of the time I mix it into a smoothie. I haven't noticed an after taste either.

yes, but if your taste buds are very acute, they won't taste exactly the same. I'd pep them up with some cheese and/or spices.

No. I have a strong sense of taste and did not detect these tastes. Of course, the unit was seasoned with several pots before having a drinkable one.

All of the bottles I have had have been a very dark brown-orange color. Because I didn't care for the consistency of the liquid just in water, I have always put it in juice so I can't really say if the taste is bitter or if one bottle has tasted different from another bottle. You raise a good question though. Perhaps it would be best to reach out to the manufacturer to determine what color the product should be when it is freshest.

It probably says that because it tastes awful. I understand it may be just me.

Mine doesn't taste the same at all. I can tell when the filter needs changed because of that. If I were you, I would check first to be sure the filter is inserted correctly.

Lisa-there was a reviewer on this that said no TASTE or smell....not to be crude, but I will probably do a " taste test" myself to find out for sure. Would be embarrassing if partner had horrid taste...

I also have had this experience. I have been buying this for years from Amazon and a local organic grocer. I agree that both the smell and taste is awful and I am considering changing brands. Even returned one because I thought something was wrong with it, but the replacement is the same. I would love to know what has been altered. I have a fairly high tolerance, but this is really bad.
