473mL can, pours an opaque muddled orange with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of wild yeast, dry-hopping, and a touch of earthy grape must. Flavour has a nice mix of dry-hopping, farmhouse notes, hay, and a touch of musty grape skins. Seems less complex and refined than previous Barn Owls. The grape character doesn’t come through as potently as I wished, and the whole thing feels a bit haphazard. Still good, but not at the height that the series has been.

473mL can. Pours murky dull gold with a white head. Nice funky wild yeast and grapes on the nose. Flavour has earthy wild yeast, good funk, musty grape skins. It's pretty tame for this series, even after coming to temperature a bit, but it's still really nice. I do wish there was more grape character though.

Hazy pinkish pour with a large white head. Aroma is vinoisz grapes and big grapefruit. Lovely, and sharp mouth feel, carb is bright, and crisp. Medium bitter, grapey, and citrusy at the same time. Quite nice.

A hazed milky pinkish ale with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet fruity mix of tart cherries, lactic acid notes, light Brett, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity mix of tart cherries, lactic acid notes, Epsom salts, light Brett, very nice. On tap at Lupulus.
