beery
Smelling of lager
Beery describes something characteristic of beer or beer drinking—the smell, the atmosphere, the clientele.
A beery pub reeks of hops and stale spills.
A beery voice sounds like its owner has had a few.
The word often carries a faintly disreputable connotation: beery laughter from the back room.
