Beer gets nothing from succulent (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aloe

'succulent' is the definition.
(aloe is a kind of succulent)

'beer gets nothing' is the wordplay.
'beer' becomes 'ale' (I've seen this before**).
'gets' indicates putting letters inside (gets can mean captures or absorbs).
'nothing' becomes 'o' (looks like zero - 0).
'ale' placed around 'o' is 'ALOE'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for aloe that I've seen before include ". . . . vera, soothing plant" , "has a bitter taste" , "Flower, maybe vera" , "Succulent plant (4) 5532" , "Genus of bitter herbs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
