What is the name of the variety please? Not all cherry tomatoes taste the same and some varieties are well known for a sharp, tangy taste..

All tomatoes are acidic which is called a "tart" taste (or tangy as digdirt has written), so try to compare it to something else, too. Some tomatoes are sweeter, but if one is not sweet, the tartness is more noticeable because the sweet isn't there to mask it.

Tomato enthusiasts I see posting generally don't call that bitter, even though that description might be used for some alcoholic beverages, especially those like Campari (Italian drink, not the tomato variety) mixed with soda water containing the alkalizing agent sodium bicarbonate which gives a bitter taste.

Campari the tomato variety, interestingly, is one of the sweetest and lowest acid tomatoes you can get commercially, while the Italian drink is yuk-bitter. Funny!

OK, so tell us the name of the variety and if you purchased it or grew it and then somebody with experience with it probably could solve what's happening.

I have heard the first tomatos of the season can be not the best tasting ones?
