Above the neck - in a glass of beer? (4)
I believe the answer is:
head
'glass of beer?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'above the neck in a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hed' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for head that I've seen before include "Froth on beer" , "Source of river, leader" , "Chief; go first" , "Edible part of cabbage" , "Noggin" .)
