Light ale brewed round there (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ethereal

'light' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ale brewed round there' is the wordplay.
'brewed' indicates an anagram.
'round' indicates putting letters inside.
'ale' anagrammed gives 'eal'.
'eal' going around 'there' is 'ETHEREAL'.

(Other definitions for ethereal that I've seen before include "Very delicate - tale here (anag)" , "Heavenly - fairy-like" , "Airy, celestial" , "Exquisite - as light as air" , "Take ale there: it's light and delicate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
