The jacked up big brother of our New England IPA, Invisible Airwaves, Shockwaves is a tropical, juicy New England Double IPA. We took the grain bill of Airwaves and added more. We took the hop bill of Airwaves and... added more!

16 oz can from Tavour. Thick, hazy, milky pour, tiny chunks of sediment, small persistent creamy head. Aroma is fruity, tropical first, supported by light citrus notes. Taste is a tropical blend with a hoppy tang. Something is adding lacto-ish notes throughout, which aids in the big creamy body of this beer. These NEIPAs are too damn easy to drink...

A: The beer is very hazy to cloudy yellow in color. It poured with a short white head that quickly settled down, leaving some specks of bubbles on the surface and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of gooseberry and lime are present in the nose along with hints of pine.
T: The taste is rather complex and has flavors of gooseberry, lemon, lime, mango, pine, and stone fruit. No bitterness is perceptible and only traces of alcohol are noticeable towards the finish.
M: It feels medium-bodied and juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is exactly as advertised as a New England Imperial IPA as it's both hazy and high octane.
Serving type: can

16oz can served in a big snifter. No date that I see.
Pours a very white yellow with a medium head and plenty of carbonation. Smell is mango and citrus.
Taste is mango and citrus -- more tropical, but not too sweet. Bitter fruit skin finish.
Mouthfeel is light and silky. Overall, very nice.
