I tasted a ripe otricoli orange berry, today. My report is that it was quite sour, not at all sweet, and nothing like black licorice (one of the reviewers at Baker Creek where I got the seeds said they tasted like black licorice). I was not a fan, unfortunately. I had high hopes, but I actually think by the taste and feel in my mouth that it's quite possibly toxic. I don't want to eat another one.
I much prefer the taste, production, and earliness of wonderberries.
