  this means stink, or strong smell, I was looking for tart or a sharp taste.

  I would not say 酸っぱい is tangy. That is a very sour taste and most people use it with a slightly negative connotation.

  I asked my wife about ピリッと and she said that it is mainly used for foods that leave a tingling sensation that is often related to spicy.

  @shirokitsune, Hmm. I was wondering if someone would mention it being used for spicy things. Well, only way to be sure in if someone buys me some of this:
