Beer leads to melee in local diner (4)
I believe the answer is:
mild
'beer leads to melee in local diner' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'leads to melee in local diner' is the wordplay.
'leads to' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letters of 'melee in local diner' is 'MILD'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mild that I've seen before include "Beer darker than bitter - not bitter" , "Dark beer, not strong in flavour" , "Calm" , "Clement -- type of beer" , "Far from extreme" .)
