Crossword Genius

Take out some beer as expected (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erase

'take out' is the definition.
(I know that erase is a type of take out)

'some beer as expected' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ERASE' is hidden in the letters of 'beer as expected'.

(Other definitions for erase that I've seen before include "Remove permanently" , "Remove evidence of" , "Remove from memory" , "Eliminate" , "Rub out, expunge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
