I agree – I find them quite sweet, when ripe. No bitterness.

My one venture with Loganberries lasted about 3
years. The vines produced fruit that was tart until dead ripe then the
flavor was excellent without any trace of bitterness. The berries would
turn almost purple at this point. The number of berries was never high
and I had problems with the winged rats taking the fruit before it could
fully ripen, so I pulled them all out and use the space for something
else. Never ran into any bitterness with them and I would not call the
fruit small. However size of the fruit did not match those of the more
popular blackberries' sizes you see these days.

I planted a bareroot
loganberry 2 seasons ago. The first year it bore well but small berries
that barely had any flesh due to an undiscovered problem in my drip
irrigation system. Last year I had to water by hand (couldn't afford to fix
the system). The berries were a bit bigger but still bitter. Now,
blackberries have a bit of that bitterness around the seeds but they have
enough sweetness to make up for it. I've never tried loganberries
before planting them. Do they primarily taste bitter?
