I know what you mean by an "acid taste", sour, tart, strong flavor. I always thought that was what I liked best in a tomato, but I discovered that I like a tomato that has both a strong sour bite and a sweetness, such as SunGold, Cherokee Purple, etc.

If you truly hate any sweetness in a tomato, about the only thing that comes to mind with no sweetness is Silvery Fir Tree that I grew for the first time this year. It was very sour, with no hint of sweetness, but I'm not necessarily recommending it. It had a bitter, astringent aftertaste that I found to be very unpleasant. It was like eating an unripe persimmon. Ick! A lot of people do like it though.
