Crossword Genius

Scowl at spilt lager (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

glare

'scowl' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'spilt lager' is the wordplay.
'spilt' indicates an anagram.
'lager' with letters rearranged gives 'GLARE'.

'at' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for glare that I've seen before include "Too-bright light" , "Shine intensely" , "Large (anag.)" , "Stare fiercely - 5 down (anag)" , "Dazzling light (of publicity?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
