Trying experience in revolutionary state (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taste

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'trying experience' is the definition.
'taste' can be an answer for 'experience' (taste can mean to experience or try out). I am not certain of the 'trying' bit.

'revolutionary state' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' indicates anagramming the letters.
'state' is an anagram of 'TASTE'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for taste that I've seen before include "Sample - discrimination" , "Relish or discrimination" , "Test for flavour" , "Judgment" , "Flavour or discrimination" .)
