Owen ... ...try drinking water after eating Orange or .... what else? and you will feel how bad it is ... the strange thing that you don't get the same taste if you will drink the juice of that fruit.

Aside from being acidic, ...Aside from being acidic, these fruits contain a substance called "pectin". To some extent it has an after-taste as it temporarily clings just around our tongue, teeth en gums.
Unripe fruits contains more of these substance thus having that bitter taste. As the fruit ripens, pectin content decreases resulting in a more pleasant and sweeter taste.
A fruitty day to all ;)
