Brewery draught, 6/20/26.
Very "fresh" shall we say. Big, big barrel showing coconut, pineapple and such. Malts are there but take a backseat to the huge wood toast. Reminds me of drinking BA beers in 2006!
Phew, yeah that's toasty, tannic, a bit raw and very floral. Some alcohol creeps in. Body isn't too lacking but the alcohol dries it out too much and there's just a touch of chewiness to battle all of this tannin and toast and alcohol.

Far left.
Soft and fruity with a bit of acidity. Fruit smells real and there isn't too much acid.
Wonderful balance with a lovely zesty acidity and soft malt/wheat. Fruity, easygoing, balanced. Well-done, flavorful wheat that avoids the high sugar and thin texture of many examples.

2nd from left.
Nice and juicy. The acid from yeast must be intensifying the normally reserved, earthy blood orange. Clean and refreshing with no excess sugar.
Juicy and nicely fruity. Soft, slick and wheaty. Not thin nor sugary. Light, simple, but a fine summer drinker. Zesty, moderately acidic, floral blood orange lingering.

Brewery draught, 6/19/26.
2nd from right.
Earthiness and herb with a bit of bready sweetness. Slight funk and good acidity.
Cherry, honey, blueberry skin and light acidity from the yeast. Soft, sugary texture. A bit more raw sugar character than I'd like, but maybe not very off-style. Cidery notes linger. Certainly a valiant attempt, but I don't think it drinks too well on account of all of this sugar character.

Draught at brewery, 6/19/26. Far right.
Malty with a pinch of floral apple character. Rye spice is minimal. Not hugely aromatic.
Dry and moderately bitter. Not thin, and the cider and honey are both fully attenuated. Some interesting remnants of pepper, apple skin, very slight malic acid. Wouldn't hate a touch more malt depth or sweetness, but maybe this was the style. Never thought I'd be complaining about a beer being too dry, but here we are.

Lukr at the brewery, 6/19/26.
Toasty caramel corn and excellent yeast character. Mineral and light mustiness. But it's still very clean and reasonably malty. Maybe a bit heavy on the specialty malt?
Nope, not really, or at least there's a ton of base malt so it doesn't feel out of balance. Zesty hop adding fresh herb and good spiciness. Deep malts but good attenuation. Light caramel throughout ending on more herbs and mineral. Maybe just a bit burlier than it needs to be.

Canned 12/8/25, drunk 4/6/26.
Fruity yeast with a good amount of roast. Smells like it will be quite dry but not overroasted. Dusting of cocoa, raisin, prune. Clean.
Nice and malty. Not as dry as expected, though still dry, of course, because these guys don't make gross, sweet beer. Chocolate, raisin, prune, but not overdone on the dark fruits. Same with the roast character. Mostly just an easy-drinking, flavorful beer with a good texture, attenuation, and very clean.

500mL bottle, undated but 2026 release, drunk 3/19/26.
Nice, big, vibrant berry and wow, frickin Jim Beam barrel. Don't see that every day. If I'm being honest, I would probably never barrel age a beer in Jim Beam, since Jim kind of sucks and is very sharp and yet also weak on the actual bourbon character, with caramel and grain in place. Maybe it would work best in a very sweet stout, but that's not this. Here I think you want a sweeter bourbon to stand up to the dryness and acidity of the berry. At the end of the day though, whole fruit, bourbon barrel, stout, Dirigible. Absolutely cannot complain.
Yeesh, yeah, the thinness and dryness of the Jim carries through, somewhat exacerbating the dry, acidic flavors of the fruit. The body is too light, as well, and the ashen, charred roast really comes through too strongly. BUT, it's not egregiously thin to the point of being undrinkable. As the sharp carbonation wears off, the texture improves and it's manageable, albeit underwhelming. Still, the whole fruit carries the day and even if it is a bit thin and has an underwhelming Jim Beam bourbon character, it's still mostly balanced (no huge acidity or alcohol or tannin) and flavorful. I finished the bottle very easily.
