Fruits having a strong taste with unmatched lift (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tangelos

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fruits' is the definition.
(tangelo is a kind of fruit)

'a strong taste with unmatched lift' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'having' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for tangelos that I've seen is " fruit".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
