Order lager for royal (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

regal

'royal' is the definition.
(I know that royal can be written as regal)

'order lager' is the wordplay.
'order' is an anagram indicator.
'lager' with letters rearranged gives 'REGAL'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for regal that I've seen before include "Magnificent, dignified" , "Royal - lager (anag)" , "King-like" , "Imperial, majestic" , "Royal - 5 down (anag)" .)
