Set a test for flavour (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taste

'flavour' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'set a test' is the wordplay.
'set' indicates anagramming the letters (instruction to set the letters).
'a'+'test'='atest'
'atest' is an anagram of 'TASTE'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for taste that I've seen before include "Small sample of food" , "The ability to discern good quality" , "gains experience" , "Experience - discrimination" , "Nice distinction felt in the mouth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
