Comparing adjectives to describe a noun


I get the use of Aの方がB, but so far all the examples I've seen are strictly
used for comparing nouns. So my question is, what if I'm trying to compare
adjectives? As in, trying to explain that one adjective is more suitable to
describe a noun than another one. Some examples of what I mean:

> This apple tastes more bitter than it tastes sweet.

or similarly

> To say this apple tastes bitter would be more fitting than to say it tastes
> sweet.




If all you want is to compare two adjectives, I think you can try using

that it becomes:

> このリンゴは甘いというより苦いです。
