What you’re holding is a modern West Coast IPA brewed using all we’ve learned brewing hop forward beers here at Pariah. Wicked as Sin is unapologetically bright, crisp, and refreshingly bitter with notes of tangerine hop candy, lemon rind, pine, resin, and earthy dankness. We hope you enjoy as much as we do.

6/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
Quite hazy golden coloured and light straw body with a very large, seven to eight centimetre tall off-white but very creamy and microfoamed head that fades slowly. Aroma of very subdued dry notes with a lot of grass, hay, flowers and apricots, but pretty mild throughout the aroma - not much here, actually. Light-bodied; Relatively crisp herbal, grassy and floral notes show at first with a perfumey bite and some fake aspartamey sugar notes that add to the bitterness, with a deeper hit of pungency and astringency from the malts here instead of the relatively soft hops. Aftertaste is clean-drinking, but bitter, mainly from the dry, grassy notes, but some grainy malt aspects are here, and seemingly the only support comes from light apricot and stone fruit sugars at the end. Overall, decent at best, really, with a very crisp bite of dryness throughout and no movement on complexity here. Not super hoppy, but also fairly bitter. Not a horrible beer, but probably not worth space in your suitcase...I'm glad I drove this one home. I sampled this sixteen ounce can, purchased from The Beer Cave @ Bob's Sunoco in Callaway, Maryland on 10-May-2022 for US$4,50, canned on 15-April-2022 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 24-June-2022.
