Beer Alternatives
hopIQ found 10 beers with the same hoppy and citrusy character as Pernicious IPA. Wicked Weed's flagship and the #1 IPA in North Carolina. Dry-hopped with nearly double the usual load, it balances bright tropical and citrus fruit against resinous pine, with a clean, dry, only lightly bitter finish over bready malt. Brewed to drink fresh and often — it'll ruin your expectations for other IPAs. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
