Beer fuels explosive ability (6)
I believe the answer is:
talent
'ability' is the definition.
(a talent is an ability)
'beer fuels explosive' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'beer' could be 'ale' (type of beer) and 'ale' is found within the answer.
'explosive' could be 'tnt' (TNT is an example) and 'tnt' is located in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for talent that I've seen before include "ancient coin" , "money no longer usable" , "Attractive young girls" , "Natural skill or flair" , "Gift, flair" .)
