About this beer

Wicked Weed Brewing’s Pernicious is an American-Style India Pale Ale weighing in at 7.3% ABV. The label artwork depicts swirling, psychedelic flora in shades of purple, green, and teal, creating a vibrant and slightly unsettling visual inspired by the beer’s name. This hop-forward IPA promises a remarkably drinkable and clean finish, aiming to redefine expectations for the style. It is brewed with generous portions of hops, though specific ingredients are not detailed on the can, resulting in a complex aroma and flavor. It’s advertised as being best enjoyed fresh and often, suggesting a focus on hop vibrancy and a potential for flavor evolution over time.

Pernicious received a Silver Medal in the American-Style India Pale Ale category at the 2015 Great American Beer Festival, indicating a well-regarded and balanced formulation. The can warns against irresponsible drinking and includes standard government warnings. It’s presented in a 12 fl. oz. aluminum can, encouraging prompt consumption to experience the beer at its peak.
