'queen's beer tipped over' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'beer tipped over' is the wordplay.
'beer' becomes 'lager' (type of beer).
'tipped over' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'lager' in reverse letter order is 'REGAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for regal that I've seen before include "King-like" , "King's" , "Grand and imposing" , "Fit for a monarch" , "befitting a king" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
