    This odor in urine is most likely due to infection with a bacterium called Ketoacidosis. When the body tries to eliminate glucose, an acidic substance called ketone in the blood releases this taste. If this situation is not taken seriously, it is likely to pose a threat to your life. Therefore, if you find that your urine produces a sweet fruity taste, you should see a doctor immediately.
