Crossword Genius

Grey ale drunk with enthusiasm (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eagerly

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

'grey ale drunk' is the wordplay.
'drunk' is an anagram indicator.
'grey'+'ale'='greyale'
'greyale' anagrammed gives 'EAGERLY'.

(Other definitions for eagerly that I've seen before include "Fervently" , "Enthusiastically" , "Keenly" , "With keen anticipation" , "In a keen manner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
