Hey, chemists!

How would you describe the smell of acid? Does it have a smell? (Any kind of acid will do; I'm looking for commonalities here.)

He's smelling an acid that doesn't exist in reality, that he doesn't initially recognize as an acid. I'll probably go with either "sour" or "sharp" as the initial descriptor, or both.
