No we don't say that. We would only say that it tastes off. We really only use the opposite with regards to events, this event is on, Daniell's birthday surprise is on, etc.

Right, the usage is the same in the US. If an event is proceeding ahead as planned, it’s on.

As well as an event, a drink on tap can be ‘on’ or ‘off’, to refer to its availability.
