odour

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pong' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'remote university holding party get tip for beer' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'university' could be 'ou' and 'ou' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
