Does deoxyribonucleic acid actually have sour taste?

Well, considering DNA is actually an acid, but not an extremely low pH acid, it may in fact taste quite sour. However, I don’t know how one would go about testing this, but I do know that based simply on pH and none of the other components of DNA (like pentose sugars, P bases, etc) it would probably taste sour. But, you’ve got me stumped… good question!
