Pernicious implies influence that is harmful in a way not easily noticed. This beer is harmful, not because of overwhelming hop bitterness, but because its balanced brightness insidiously ruins your expectations for all other IPAs. This hop delivery vehicle is crafted to enjoy fresh and often and because of its drinkability and clean finish you’ll never look at IPAs the same again. The harm is done.

This is a great IPA on par with Jai Alai. The flavor is not overpowered by the hops in any way, making it easily accessible to anyone who would like to get into IPA's, while still catering to seasoned IPA drinkers with a big flavor profile with a finish that is not harsh enough to prevent have a few more.

Pernicious IPA – from Wicked Weed. Acquired 23/11/23 from M & M Beverages, Hermitage, PA. $ 14.30 (Including tax)/six-pack of 12 fl oz cans, $ 0.199/fl oz. Reviewed 27/11/23 (Review 3180). Note that I use DD/MM/YY protocol.
Bottom of can is stamper “DRINK BY 12/12/23”. On room temperature shelf at the store, stored at 34 degrees at home. Served at 46.9 degrees F in a hand washed and dried Jester King snifter. The final temperature was 53.6 degrees F.
Appearance – 4.
First pour – Pale Straw (SRM 2), clear.
Body – Pale gold (SRM 4), clear. Under direct light, same. When rear-lite, same.
Head: Average (Maximum 2.5 cm, aggressive center pour), floral white, high density, dropping to a 0.6 – 0.7 cm crown and a rocky, complete cap.
Lacing – Good! Wide band of tiny to large bubbles showing future evolution into torn curtains
Aroma – 4 – Strong flowery and fruity/berry hops. No malt, no yeast.
Flavor – 4 – Begins moderately bitter with some floral hops. No yeast. Some maltiness sneaks through. No dimethylsulfide or diacetyl. Faint gastric warming.
Palate – 4 – Medium; watery; moderate carbonation.
Final impression and summation: 4 A decent IPA.

Extremely solid IPA, at 7.3% ABV on the stronger side. Bright clear straw colored (you could confuse with a Pilsner from afar). The foam is super nice, very bright, lots of lacing. Strong hops but not crazy bitter.

Straw golden color. Pour results in a generous head. Aroma is slightly citrusy. Taste is not as hop-forward as many IPAs, but has some light citrus notes and a bit of hops on the finish. Mouthfeel is smooth with moderate carbonation. Overall a decent, but not exceptional beer.

Clear gold, dense white head, great retention, rings of lace
Mango, orange, grapefruit, and dank aroma
Mainly mango and orange hop flavors, just enough malt to balance, clean, bitter finish
Medium bodied and appropriately carbonated
Really good. What we expected IPAs to turn into circa 2011

Clear golden yellow appearance with a short lasting fizzy white head, low retention, faint lacing. Grassy, faint hop and fruit notes, fails to unfold. Light body, moderate carbonation.
