Gross as in it tastes bad raw?

I mean, I haven’t tried it in any significant quality, it’s incredibly close to normal water at that concentration. Maybe a bit woody, really not sweet.

It’s also just unprocessed tree-water you get from a bucket and I’m not an expert on the health and safety of all that but yunno, to me it’s something I’d want at least boiled first.

It didn’t seem that different from like… tree fruit juice, but based on some of the comments I’ve gotten, it doesn’t sound like it would be very pleasant.

It's not inedible but it certainly isn't something I'd want to drink a lot of. It picks up all sorts of tastes from the tree and tubing and it doesn't have the good caramel-analogous taste of syrup yet. It's noticeably sweet though. Think sugar water with a hint of tree bark (which is basically what it is). I'd recommend tasting it once or twice if you haven't for the novelty, but yeah it's not very good unboiled.
