Sparks Igniting presents as a quintessential Hazy IPA, defined by its luminous, opaque appearance and a velvety texture derived from a grist of barley, oat, and wheat. The aroma is a multi-layered explosion of tropical intensity, driven by the expressive trio of Strata, Enigma, and Mosaic hops. Expect vivid notes of passionfruit and crushed berries intertwined with a subtle dankness and melon. The palate follows with a juicy saturation of stone fruit and citrus, supported by a neutral, bready malt backbone. It finishes with a soft, restrained bitterness that emphasizes drinkability and a lingering fruity resonance.

Appearance. Deep straw to pale gold (3-5 SRM). Luminous, opaque haze with a healthy shine. Topped by a dense, meringue-like white head with high retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop-forward bouquet. Dominant notes of passionfruit, strawberry, and redcurrant from the Strata and Enigma, alongside Mosaic's signature blueberry and tropical citrus. Background malt is neutral and lightly bready; fermentation is clean with subtle fruity esters.

Taste. High fruity hop flavor featuring mango, melon, and citrus zest. A soft, grainy malt sweetness provides a supportive platform. Low to medium-high bitterness that is smooth rather than sharp. The finish is off-dry to medium, leaving a lingering impression of tropical fruit juice without harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy, and smooth texture. Moderate carbonation. No astringency or hop burn. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated, contributing to the overall roundness.
