Does it taste like lemon squash? (5)

I believe the answer is:

melon

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

'does it taste' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'lemon squash?' is the wordplay.
'squash?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'squashed' mean this).
'lemon' with letters rearranged gives 'MELON'.

'like' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for melon that I've seen before include "I'm very seedy" , "Honeydew fruit" , "Eg, cantaloupe, galia" , "Fruit - lemon (anag)" , "Sweet juicy gourd" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
