Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Wicked Weed Brewing Pernicious
IPA. I picked this bottle up at Stella Brew (here) in Winston-Salem, NC.
They have an excellent selection and we’re very helpful helping me pick out
some local “must have” beers to bring home. If you find yourself in the
area stop in, buy some beverages and tell them that Mark from NorCal Beer Blog
sent you!
From the Wicked Weed Brewing website: “Pernicious
is our flagship India Pale Ale boasting a silver medal at this year’s Great
American Beer Festival. This massively dry-hopped ale has minimum malt
complexity and a combination of juicy, tropical fruit-forward hops with heavy
resinous American hops. Pernicious is the epitome of a West Coast IPA, made
right here in the Southeast.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a slightly hazey dark golden color with a large white head leaving lots of
lacing.
Aroma: Citrus,
tropical fruits, earthy/grassy and pine hop scents and slight scent of sweet
malts.
Taste: Tropical,
citrus and pine hop flavors backed nicely with sweet malt notes.
Overall: With a
nice blend of hop flavors, Wicked Weed Brewing Pernicious IPA was
enjoyable. This 7.3% ABV offering is something I’d certainly
drink again.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
