its poisonous if you drink it but tasting it is fine 
this is how we used to test if the tank had antifreeze in it 9if you couldn't see) dip your finger and then just touch your tongue 
i cant remember which one it is that tastes sweet now Methanol or Ethylene glycol

si you are right, they use propolene glycol nowadays, it suppose to be less toxic than ethylene glycol

do a rad flush and start again with fresh antifreeze, you cant go wrong that way, most places recomend a 50/50 mix now, i always use to use2 litres but might be worth checking.

Whatever you do DON'T suck the antifreeze out with your mouth!
