Pernicious India Pale Ale

Tonight on #beersaturday I am finishing up my variety pack of IPAs brewed by Wicked Weed Brewing of Asheville, North Carolina.

First of all, how many of you actually know what the word "pernicious" means?

I mean I have heard the word, and with a good spell check, I can spell the word, but to say that I actually know what the word means . . . not so much. I think it means feisty or resilient, like a boxer fighting outside of his weight class.

The truth of the matter is, I really don't know the meaning of the word and I am just guessing.

So I am way wrong about the definition of the word pernicious.

Holy crap! And I am drinking this sh*t??????

One has wonder, why in God's name, anyone would name a beer, intended for human consumption, pernicious.

Is it just me, or are any of you slightly worried for the old @handofzara as he ventures forth on this #beersaturday?

Pernicious? Harmful in a subtle way?

BEER NAME: Pernicious
STYLE: Indian Pale Ale
ABV: 7.3%
BREWER: Wicked Weed Brewing of Asheville, North Carolina
APPEARANCE: Amber, Foamy thick head and cloudy
AROMA: hops with subtle citrus
TASTE: well balanced hops with the tang of citrus
MOUTHFEEL: lighter body for an IPA with a clean finish

Alright this is a smooth brew for an IPA. And if I had all three in the variety pack in one session, at 7.3% ABV I think it would do some serious harm in a pernicious way.

TRIVIA TIME!

I have a #beersaturday tradition of asking a trivia question. And the first person to answer correctly in the COMMENTS wins a BEER TOKEN!

This past month I have featured an INDIA PALE ALE from a variety pack by Wicked Weed Brewing of Asheville, North Carolina.

QUESTION: What is the Capitol of India?

Good luck and I will see y'all next #beersaturday.

I'm not sure I have tried Pernicious, but I do like Wicked Weed's other brews. Hopefully Pernicious doesn't end up harming you in the end!

As for the capital of India, it's New Delhi of course.

I’m out in Wilmington, not too far from Asheville. I like this beer too and, much like yourself I had to look up the definition of the name…which I found disconcerting, but not enough to keep me from enjoying the brew :)

Is Dehli the capital of India? I could look it up but that would be cheating. I have been there and it is such an exotic and interesting place!

I can see why they name it pernicious. For strong beer, you like them to taste smooth and not-strong rather than obnoxious and boozy. So, this one may be deceptively smooth masking a dangerous 7+% ABV!

CHEERS!

Actually the capitol of India is "New Delhi" rather than plain old Delhi. There was already a winner but thanks for the read.

And yes it hid the ETOH well.
