What do reviewers say about Tartan and Light My Fire?
This isn't a safe buy. The hops give it an unusual fermented edge, and the bread note, yes, actual bread, keeps surprising you. But that's the whole point. Tartan doesn't want to be liked by everyone.Tartan
Tobacco that doesn't apologize for itself. The honey makes it approachable, but underneath there's something that makes people lean in rather than step back.Light My Fire
