Piquancy (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

tang

zest

'piquancy' is the definition.
(I know that piquancy can be written as tang)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tang that I've seen before include "Dynasty's" , "Aroma" , "The biting flavour of seaweed" , "Strong flavour/smell" , "Pungency" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Newsday, the LA Times, The Independent, The New York Times, The Mirror, the Evening Standard and the Universal.
