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.

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).

Cask@GBBF2009. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is quite dry old wooden with some earthcellary notes as well. Also freshly cut grass mixed with some herbal notes. Flavour is vanilla, wood, fruits, some mild hebral notes as well as mild spicyness. Rather complex golden/blond ale for once.
