Surprised cry about a very strong form of Scottish beer (5)
I believe the answer is:
heavy
'scottish beer' is the definition.
'heavy' can be an answer for 'beer'. I am unsure of the 'scottish' bit.
'surprised cry about a very strong form' is the wordplay.
'surprised cry' becomes 'eh'.
'about' is a reversal indicator.
'a very' becomes 'av' (I've seen this in other clues).
'strong form' becomes 'y' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'eh' written backwards gives 'he'.
'he'+'av'+'y'='HEAVY'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heavy that I've seen before include "Difficult to lift" , "serious!" , "Weighty - ponderous" , "Villain" , "Not light" .)
