750ml (thx, Brent L.!) @ Ryan's.
Aroma: typical Missouri farmhouse yeasts, some oak complexity and fruitiness.
Taste: along the same lines, quite aggressive (as usual), moderately acidic.
Overall: enjoyable, but it's the cost/benefit value is very poor for sure, unfortunately.

22oz @ Alex's.
Aroma: fruity, a mix of barrels. I would say this feels more like a port barrels.
Taste: along the same lines, lots of barrels, baking spices, dark fruits, and a lot of char from bourbon barrels.
Overall: is it complex? Yes. Is it perfect? Not really, unfortunately. Still enjoyable.

12oz @ 🏡
Aroma: very nice farmhouse notes, fruity, a bit grassy and flowery.
Taste: along the same lines, a bit bitter, nice rustic notes with balanced bitterness. More of the farmhouse notes side, then on the bitterness side.
Overall: liked this year batch more than last year one that I thought was too bitter. Nice one 👌 Definitely will be my table saison for the rest of the year ❤️
