I have a few issues though. 1D: Not sure if I would equate "asher" to "dustier", even with the question mark. 2D: I've seen "see" clue the letter "c" but not in a compound anagram, it feels a bit naughty. 3D: It's a bit unusual to define "usual" as "not unusual" but I can't argue of course!
Appreciate the feedback, thanks for giving it a solve! I knew 1D was a bit of a stretch. I have seen other clues employ see = C, but they might have had a homophone indicator now that I think about it. And honestly I just thought 3D was funnier with that, although it is probably a less satisfying solve. Things to learn!
4A: HAIKU (first letters of fourth-eighth words)
5A: LAGER<
1D: ASHER (double-definition)
2D: ICING = GIN+I+C
3D: USUAL = US(U)A+L
