Brewed ale round there is heavenly! (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ethereal

'heavenly' is the definition.
('ethereal' can be similar in meaning to 'heavenly')

'brewed ale round there' is the wordplay.
'brewed' is an anagram indicator.
'round' is an insertion indicator.
'ale' with letters rearranged gives 'eal'.
'eal' placed around 'there' is 'ETHEREAL'.

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for ethereal that I've seen before include "Light, delicate, insubstantial" , "There in lea - it looks delicate" , "Airy; heavenly" , "Extremely delicate and light, not of this world" , "Delicate and perfect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
