6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7
Bottle from the source. Hazy amber color, white head. Aroma of dank and sweaty hops and plants. Taste is very bitter grass and pine resin. Would like to see it better balanced, but I get the point.

Pernicious Weed from Garage Project

8.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 10 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 8
My 100th NZ beer rating, on the sixth day of my trip, and it comes in the least likely place - Taupo, more or less a beer desert. Fortunately I planned ahead and stocked up in Rotorura and Okere. Bottle. Cloudy to murky variegated golden orange color, big fluffy white head. Beautiful aroma of orange, peach, pineapple, tropical fruit, herbal weeds. Taste is bitter dried tropical fruit. Dry finish. I vote against the church on this one - it doesn’t seem pernicious to me at all.

7.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 8.5
(Bottle) Clear orange brown colour (reminded me somewhat of Lucozade) with a loose tan head, again with some orange hints in it. Lovely fruity aroma, primarily citrusy hops, but with some interesting earthy hints and some other odd hard to place notes. Light body with good carbonation. Taste is impressive and unusual. At heart it is a good well hopped IPA, and citrus flavours turning to pleasant bitterness over a biscuity malt is the backbone of the flavour. However there is a lot more going on on top of this. Chili is detectable, more from heat than flavour. There are several other lighter more refreshing flavours that I struggle to identify but can associate with Vietnamese salad ingredients. A very interesting and unusual beer. I would not drink it regularly, but it is a fine piece of brewing with innovative flavour combinations.
