Headless type of beer turned up, designed for older tastes? (5)
I believe the answer is:
retro
'designed for older tastes?' is the definition.
(retro can mean old-fashioned)
'headless type of beer turned up' is the wordplay.
'headless' means to remove the first letter.
'type of beer' becomes 'porter' (porter is a type of beer).
'turned up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'porter' with its first letter removed is 'orter'.
'orter' back-to-front is 'RETRO'.
(Other definitions for retro that I've seen before include "in nostalgic style" , "Reliving the past" , "Fashion recalling the past" , "Looking backwards" , "Fashion of yesteryear" .)
