- Fruited on the label: the filing doesn't say which fruit or how much — a common starting point is 1–2 lb/gal of purée in the fermenter after primary, but taste the real can before committing.
- Barrel-aged on the label: at homebrew scale, oak cubes soaked in the matching spirit (1–2 oz for 4–8 weeks) stand in for the barrel.
