Brief experience (5)
I believe the answer is:
taste
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">brief experience</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(a taste of something is a brief experience with it)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for taste that I've seen before include "choice" , "Sensation in the mouth caused by food" , "Sample, savour" , "Flavour; discernment" , "Small sample of food" .)
