I was happy to have a Lorusso variety actually turn out to be common. Olga (who this variety is named after) described the flavors quite well: very sweet grape, strawberry, and banana. It’s very productive, rain resistant, zero splitting, small to tight ostiole, early to mid season, and cold hardy. So far, Olga has not produced any brebas for us.
