Lighting fires is a serious business. A tinderbox brings an old-school, considered approach to proceedings. Great care and much planning have gone into the development of this recipe and the flavour journey that it delivers. We hope that this IPA will light many a fire in the hearts of hop lovers and deliver the unique joy that only this legendary style can. If you’re gonna start a fire, sometimes the old ways are the best ways.

(Cask at Southampton Arms, Gospel Oak, London, 29 May 2025) Golden amber colour, slightly hazy, with foamy off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, orange peel, resin and herbs. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, orange peel, grapefruit, herbal hops, resin and a generous citric/herbal bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Hoppy and well made WCIPA. Very nice.

Gravicask, half-pint, shared with Finn. Close-to-clear amber body, bubbles on the surface, scattered lacing. Promising floral-fruity aromas. Moments of grapefruit, mild caramel malts, and a backdrop of resinous bitterness. Clean on the swallow and well bodied. Like it.

30th October 2023, Chez Sophie Monthly Gathering, five guys, beers and bollox. Cheers Simon for the 440ml can of this. Slight haze to the golden pour, white head. Citrusy, piney and semi-bitter, thought there was an Apricot like flavour too.

Creamy white head on chill hazy amber coloured body. Hardly any aroma. Medium bodied, smooth & creamy with a clean back. Light malt, biscuit, zesty & citrus tastes with bitter grapefruit finish. Good One.
