We part at revolting Adam's Ale (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tap water

'adam's ale' is the definition.

'we part at revolting' is the wordplay.
'revolting' indicates an anagram.
'we'+'part'+'at'='wepartat'
'wepartat' with letters rearranged gives 'TAP-WATER'.

(Other definitions for tap water that I've seen before include "Domestic drink" , "still running?" , "Best and cheapest drink?" , "Ordinary drink" , "Vital liquid from a sink unit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
