A full-bodied ale brewed by English moonlight? (4,1,6,4)
I believe the answer is:
lead a double life
'moonlight?' is the definition.
(to moonlight is to work a second job)
'a full-bodied ale brewed by english' is the wordplay.
'brewed' is an anagram indicator.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'a'+'full'+'bodied'+'ale'='afullbodiedale'
'afullbodiedale' anagrammed gives 'leadadoublelif'.
'leadadoublelif'+'e'='LEAD A DOUBLE LIFE'
I've seen this clue in The Times.
