Why didn't you finish your tea?

Hi

Is the response from B natural English?

A - Why didn't you finish your tea?
B - I could smell sour milk in it.
[B means to say that she felt that the milk used in the tea had turned sour/gone off]

Thanks,

Tom

Either. The brackets round 'because; indicated that I might or might not use that word.
