Heavenly ale brewed outside the limits of Rusholme (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ethereal

'heavenly' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'ale brewed outside the limits of rusholme' is the wordplay.
'brewed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'outside' is an insertion indicator (some letters go outside others).
'limits of' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'rusholme' with its middle taken out is 're'.
'ale' anagrammed gives 'eal'.
'the'+'re'='there'
'eal' going around 'there' is 'ETHEREAL'.

(Other definitions for ethereal that I've seen before include "Having an unreal lightness or delicateness" , "Fine" , "Airy; heavenly" , "Light, airy or spirit-like" , "Very delicate - tale here (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
