Feeling Serendip(ity)-ous this evening.
I’ll stand by my assessment this is the perfect Thanksgiving dessert beer.
Loads of apple, cranberry and cinnamon just explode on the tongue.

I had a pint can of this last PM-great minds and all that stuff...

Poured with vigor into a standard pint glass with a resultant generous, foamy head. Fairly sharp pineapple and grapefruit aromas which preceded a combination of blended tropical juiciness, some orange and papaya (neither added) flavors along with a bit of resin and some rind and pith. I'm amazed the IBUs are only 10-I'd have guessed 50-60 range. ABV was 7.1%. I'm not going to go quite Cat 3 on this but it's very close and I'd certainly order more of this, but, it's likely a one-off, and will certainly continue to trade/pay for whatever accfanfrom1970 places in his shopping cart from Ardent, Veil, Hardywood and Vasen.

Their BBA Edinbrue was excellent so I may try to sample this after work today or tomorrow.

Guiness milk stout in Baltimore?
Road trip?
The Veil’s “IDon’tWantToBU3” IPA. A triple dry hopped IPA. Pours almost like a bright yellow milkshake IPA. Lots and lots of rich citrus fruits on the nose. Terrific, mouth-watering acidity on the palate. Nice bite to the hops, but fabulously counterbalanced by the citrus. Another fantastic pint that (for me) clears the Cat 3 bar.
"Amazing what a minute can do."
I recall some barrel-aged version of this in the past but can't remember whether it was cab or bourbon barrels. When you find/trade sooooo many wonderful beers with me, it's a bit difficult to remember exactly which ones . I'll do a bit of research and circle back on this later tonight or in the AM .

Plenty of new purchases to share/trade before the tailgate Saturday.

Rumor has it the semi-legendary budwom will be at our tent sometime Saturday evening with fine local ales in hand to sip and share...

Great minds and all that stuff...

Stemware-standard pint glass

Nose-citrus, melons and stone fruits
Mouthfeel-smooth; absolutely agree with the "bite" and "counterbalance" above
Tastes-peaches, tangerines, cantaloupe, orange and pineapple
IBU-accfanfrom1970 thinks this is 0 and he may be correct but feels/tastes more like 30-40, like a NEIPA or milkshake IPA
ABV-6.9%
Overall impression-an outstanding IPA in a very crowded field as TW posted yesterday about another beer, IIRC
Ymm, Beer rating-totally agree with TW above and his Cat 3 designation

Raspberry Short Kate made a brief visit tonight. RJ199 previously reviewed and I'm too tired now to type another one but I will in the AM .

Got one in the fridge. But tonight I just had an outstanding Fuse Category 3 all-the-way BBA Sexual Chocolate 2017 from Tripping William. Thanks!! It was amazing. To do a fuse style side-by-side tasting I'm now drinking the 2019 newly released version.
My brain is Dixie Classic Fair-fried and sleep deprived so I'm still not posting any reviews of any quality. But my initial reviews are that the 2019 version tastes much more like good coffee and good chocolate. The 2017 version from T-Will tastes more like bourbon first and immensely drinkable. The 2017 version was, to me, significantly better. But I like good bourbon and barrels better than chocolate and coffee. If you prefer the latter you would probably like the 2019 better.
So for me Fuse Category 2 for new 2019 BBA Sexual Chocolate which was still very good. The 2019 has a beautiful DARK chocolate finish. Just not so much bourbon with that one IMO.
ps - go Duke! I'm drinking these now because I'm trying to lose a pie to 4Gen in another thread so I don't need beers to pair with pie right now. I gotta save those calories for all the beer in my fridge.
