Talented, having swallowed pint (3)
I believe the answer is:
ale
'pint' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'talented having swallowed' is the wordplay.
'having swallowed' says the answer is hidden in the clue (I've seen 'has swallowed' mean this).
'ALE' is hidden in the letters of 'talented'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ale that I've seen before include "Booze" , "brewing?" , "English beer, mild or bitter" , "A drink; sounds like become ill" , "The A in CAMRA" .)
