The sour flavour is very distinct, but not extremely harsh, and I can eat quite a lot before starting to feel like I've had too much sour. They're also quite soft, but still with a solid consistency to them, they'll rip apart easier than a lot of sour candies of similar style, and you can bite through them with little effort. In my “expert” opinion (as someone who's been eating sour candies of various kinds for decades), they're delicious!
