Rookie tip from Innsbruck (8)

I believe the answer is:

tyrolean

'from innsbruck' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'rookie tip' is the wordplay.
'rookie' becomes 'tyro' (I've seen this in another clue).
'tip' becomes 'lean' (synonyms).
'tyro'+'lean'='TYROLEAN'

(Other definitions for tyrolean that I've seen before include "European" , "Native of picturesque mountainous region of western Austria" , "found in N. Italy?" , "Of an Alpine district" , "Austrian" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
