Have you already made a mistake?

Have you tried already this taste?

X Have you tried already this taste?

Tim says:

There are several problems here. The smallest problem is that “flavor” would sound better here, rather than “taste”.

Secondly, “tried” should come after “already”. So that gives us “Have you already tried this flavor?”

But it still doesn’t sound natural. I think this writer was trying to say 「この味はもう試しましたか?」 A better translation of that would be:

O Have you tried this flavor yet?
