Wicked Weed Pernicious IPA is the flagship India Pale Ale from Wicked Weed Brewing, based in Asheville, North Carolina. This 24-pack of 12 oz cans delivers a hop-forward West Coast IPA crafted with minimal malt complexity and an assertive dry-hop presence using nearly twice the typical amount of hops for the style.

Pernicious balances juicy, tropical fruit-forward hop character with heavy resinous American hop notes, resulting in a beer that is bright and drinkable without being aggressively bitter. The brewery describes it as "a hop delivery vehicle crafted for regular enjoyment," with a clean finish that makes it exceptionally sessionable for an IPA. As the brewery puts it: "Pernicious implies influence that is harmful in a way not easily noticed — harmful not because of overwhelming hop bitterness, but because its balanced brightness insidiously ruins your expectations for all other IPAs."

Each can is 12 fl oz, and this Costco package contains 24 cans.
