Brewer's ingredient (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

hops

malt

'brewer's ingredient' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for malt that I've seen before include "Cereal grain for distilling" , "Pure whisky" , "Germinated and kiln-dried grain used in brewing and distilling" , "Grain product used in beer and whisky" , "Barley product used in brewing" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the LA Times, the Penny Press and The Daily Mail.
