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 the Sir Michael Balcon, JDW - Ealing, London. Pours clear gold with a frothy-creamy white head. Biscuity pale malts in the nose, with a small dab of fresh butter and accents of lemon rind. Light-medium sweet flavor with more bready malts, dough, biscuits, straw, English yeast. Light bodied, creany, with fine carbonation. Finishes sweet, with more pale and bready malts, dough, very faint buttered biscuit, yeast, slight lemony citrus. Tasty enough gold.

Gravity cask at Bedford Beer Festival. Light, almost straw colour. Nose dominated by sulphur with some Lotus biscuit spread in toast. Tastes less exciting than I’d hoped: astringent bittersweet with increased bitterness on the finish. There is a wave of sulphur in the aftertaste. It’s great to have a properly well-crafted Burton beer but the sulphur notes, while gentle and balanced, are still too much for me.

On tap at Branston Country Club, pours a clear copper with a small beige head. Nose is light, with crackery malt and light English hops. Flavour is smooth and restrained, with crackery malt and very light floral hops. Smooth palate and easy to drink. Decent stuff.

Used to be a regular guest in one of my locals but rarely seen now: this is a review of a hand pulled pint in The Plough, Shifnal (22nd Feb 2012). Fairly dull colouring of gold/blonde beer with a full but thinning head of off-white foam; could look a lot better and sometimes does, or at least it used too. Nose had a mild hop feel, floral with a mini citrus finish. The taste is hop first and last, with a malt content that prevents the beer being too bitter our sour and allowing some sweetness to equal out the floral hops that dominate the initial flavours. Pleasant and worth trying. I had mates who wouldn’t leave the pub until the barrel was empty a few years ago (it didn’t have the same effect on me).
