お味は The taste is

As you would expect from sweet oranges, it has a strong sour taste.
子供たちは苦手のようでした。
My kids didn’t seem to like it.
追熟してどれだけ甘くなるかかなと思います。

Memo: Name of Sweet Watson Pomelo
When you translate Sweet Watson Pomelo with Google Translate, it becomes sweet orange.
If you search online, there seem to be other names.
Let me introduce them.
Sweet Watson Pomelo
This is the one I used in this article.
Watson Pomelo often refers to summer mandarins.
I guess it means sweet summer mandarins.
Watson is probably the name, but it is probably due to the international rules for naming plants.
It is a naming method that Watson came up with, so I think Watson is in the name.
Sweet orange
In Japanese, it is called “Amanatsu”.
When written in kanji, Sweet Watson Pomelo is written as sweet summer.
I think it is sweet orange because it is a sweet orange, omitting the summer.
Sweet bitter orange
I think this name is probably based on the taste.
It is a mature fruit that is sweet and bitter.
Summary
There are many different ways to call one fruit.
It might be fun to call it by a different name each time as a prank and bring out the same fruit.
I’d like to do some more research next time too.
