Translation attempt:

Sugar is sweet, lemon is sour... and what is bitter?

You COULD use 'but' instead of 'and', but I suppose it is OK.

It would be so literally. Nevertheless several times, I translate "and" from English into "but" in Hungarian. I think we Hungarian use "de" (but) more frequently than English people.
