Become sick of beer, say (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ail

'become sick' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'beer say' is the wordplay.
'beer' becomes 'ale' (I've seen this before).
'say' shows a homophone (sound like).
'ale' sounds like 'AIL'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ail that I've seen before include "Become unwell" , "Afflict -- feel unwell" , "Trouble, afflict; be sickly" , "upset" , "Afflict; suffer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
