This special release of Shockwaves DIPA was fermented in stainless steel and then transferred to oak barrels; either grape brandy or gin. After aging in oak for 6 months, the beer from both barrels was blended together and the they dry hopped it with twice the amount of Mosaic, Citra and El Dorado of a normal shockwaves brew. Malt 2 row barley, wheat, flaked oats.

16 oz pint bottle poured into teku, translucent golden , pencil thin, soapy , big bubbled white foam cap, quickly recedes to a white ring

Aroma of citrus rind, tangerine

Earthy taste, taste of gin, hint of brandy ,

Dry finish

Nice beer
