I like all the Honeyberries/Haskaps and while there are noticeable 
differences in shapes, sizes and ripening dates, I'm not seeing much 
differences flavour wise.  Maybe some of them are a bit sweeter, but pick any 
of them a day or two early and they will all taste terrible.  The Haskaps are 
a larger berry, but they are all so much bigger than our native 
Saskatoons/Pin Cherries/Choke Cherries that there is no point in complaining 
about the 'smaller' ones.  Don't get me wrong, when they are 
properly ripened, I love them all out of hand, in jams, in smoothies, in 
pies, in cakes, in muffins, on ice cream, in crisps....  And living this far 
North, you have got to love something that is so frost hardy.  My only 
problems with growing them is that I hate the work of netting them which you 
have to do or they will all be eaten by the birds (but that is worth it to 
me) and the bushes are so brittle I have to make sure that my dogs
 don't make their patrol paths beside them because one winter of deer 
chasing by a bush took it from 4' tall to 6" tall.

We have Blue Belle, Berry Blue, Blue Bird, Blue Velvet, Blue Pear, Borealis, 
Cinderella, Opal, Polar Night , Polar Jewel, Svetlana, Tundra, Wild Honey, 
Honey Sweet, Indigo Treat (9-91), Indigo Gem (9-15), Indigo Yum (9-92) and 
about 150 seedlings from the above.  This might just produce more than we can 
eat next year!

Can you say more about this?  I have a few of a variety from either
Green World or Burnt Ridge, I no longer remember.  A bunch of them
declined & died, Only one really makes fruit anymore & the fruit is
unremarkable, not sure I would describe it as having wine making
potential, almost insipid.  Are you saying the U of S Haskaps are like
those?  As I remember it was called "something or other" Blue.

Ooops, sorry!  One more comment: I certainly wouldn't describe 
honeyberry/haskap flavour as insipid.  In fact after picking and eating 
gallons of honeyberries (Berry Blue and Blue Belle) from my friend's place, I 
went out and bought some commercial blueberries and insipid is exactly what I 
thought of the blueberries!  The blueberries are a bit sweeter, but they have 
no flavour which is what the honeyberries have in abundance... at least up 
here.
