Bitter beer — had to get round in (5)
I believe the answer is:
aloed
This might be a double definition.
'bitter beer' is the first definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs occasionally mean the same thing.
'had to get round in' is the second definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
