He has to make beer for an Israelite (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hebrew

'for an israelite' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'he has to make beer' is the wordplay.
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'to make beer' becomes 'brew' (I've seen this before).
'he'+'brew'='HEBREW'

(Other definitions for hebrew that I've seen before include "Tongue" , "Jewish language" , "Language of ancient Palestine, still used in Israel" , "Ancient Semitic language, used in modern version in Israel" , "Middle Eastern language" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
