It was originally brewed under license, but Burton Bridge obtained the trademark in 2004 to brew 'Stairway' in it's own right.
Although 5% it drinks as easily as a 4.2% so beware. Hops used are Fuggles and Goldings.

(Cask at Dog & Bell, Deptford, London, 22 Nov 2025) Golden colour with foamy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of citrus, pineapple, peaches and floral hops. Fruity, hoppy taate with citrus, lemon peel, peaches, white bread and a balanced floral/citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Hoppy and refreshing. Nice one.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 22nd July 2025. Clear golden amber with shallow foam affording plenty of lacing. Nutty malt aroma. Zesty peel and malty nuttiness in-mouth and a finish composed of both the aforementioned. Plenty of body and a smooth mouthfeel. A fine pint.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a cloudy dark gold, with big white head, settles to a nice top. Aroma of lemon cheesecake, vinegar, flora, hint of spice. Taste is light yeast, biscuit, grass, lemon, berries, moderate bitterness. Nice creamy mouthfeel. A really interesting brew with a few nods towards the Belgium blonde style but has a distinction of its own. I really enjoyed this.

Cast at the Wellington, Birmingham: Slightly hazy golden coloured brew with an subtle fruity taste and nice hoppy finish. But the name of the beer, yeah i thought more spectacular taste, smell etcetera.
