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.

Handpull cask at Wainwrights, Keswick. Golden, clear, with a large and fairly tight white head. Light citrus, hay and peppery spice in the aroma. Bitter and slightly medicinal taste with an astringent and somewhat soapy finish. Pleasant amount of natural carbonation adds to the mouthfeel. All in all, it's a decent cask IPA.
