One part of a bottle of beer? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ale

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'beer?' is the definition.
(type of beer)

'one part of a bottle' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'part of a bottle' becomes 'le' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'le'='ALE'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ale that I've seen before include "Beerlike beverage" , "Stout" , "Alcohol" , "Traditional beer" , "Alcoholic beverage" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
