750mL bottle, pours a cloudy amber pink with a small pink head. Aroma brings out fresh tart blueberry skins and a touch of lacto. Flavour is pretty ordinary, with tart blueberry, not much else. Simple, medium tartness, with a dry blueberry skins. Not overly thrilling, but pleasant enough.

Cloudy and purplish - the blueberry skins lend a little something. This has a light body, fairly fizzy, with a mellow blueberry note. The malt notes are light, the fruit and lactic notes are really the stars here. Nice - I like this Oria series.

375mL bottle, pours a hazy amber with a small head. Aroma is full of all sorts of wild critters, with vinous notes, and light balsamic. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of funky wild critters, light balsamic, a touch of red berries, and a touch of vinous oak character. Nicely balanced, bringing out the wild yeast very nicely. Enjoyable stuff.

Small can fromThe Gull. Pours a hazy blonde with a white head. Aroma is funky with some peppery and earthy notes. Taste is similar with a bit harsh hoppy bitterness. Decent, but not something crazy.
