Land of initially weak beers? (5)
I believe the answer is:
wales
'land' is the definition.
(Wales is an example)
'initially weak beers?' is the wordplay.
'initially' suggests taking the first letters.
'beers?' becomes 'ales' (ale is a type of beer).
The first letter of 'weak' is 'w'.
'w'+'ales'='WALES'
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for wales that I've seen before include "Its emblem is the leek" , "Part of 1" , "Home nation wearing red shirts for rugby" , "Land of Dai and Dylan" , "Home to Snowdonia and the Gower Peninsula" .)
