Very fine, uplifting beer (5)
I believe the answer is:
regal
'very fine' is the definition.
'regal' can be an answer for 'fine' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'very' bit.
'uplifting beer' is the wordplay.
'uplifting' is a reversal indicator.
'beer' becomes 'lager' (type of beer).
'lager' in reverse letter order is 'REGAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for regal that I've seen before include "'Majestic, royal (5)'" , "King-like" , "Fit for a king" , "Grand and imposing" , "fit for the Queen" .)
