Comments on the clue
1.I can't really envisage the surface reading, very bizarre
2.I don't like the indirect homophone (beer > Kaliber > calibre) and the humour is weak.
3.Can't make much of this surface
4.homophone (dropped…lips) is excellent. But use of "of" as link i.e. definition of wordplay is bad.
