Fresh in tavern, always (6)
I believe the answer is:
vernal
'fresh' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in tavern always' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'VERNAL' is hidden within 'tavern always'.
(Other definitions for vernal that I've seen before include "Spring-like" , "Of or occurring in spring" , "Occuring in spring" , "Appearing in spring" , "Seasonal breaks" .)
