Crossword Genius

Lager brought round for trip (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slip

'trip' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'lager brought round' is the wordplay.
'lager' becomes 'pils' (Pilsner beer).
'brought round' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'pils' back-to-front is 'SLIP'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for slip that I've seen before include "Gaffe" , "Glide; petticoat" , "Mistake -- small piece of paper" , "shift" , "Lose footing or make mistake" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
