RBESG Sheffield 2009 Grand Tasting at the Harlequin. Hazy orange colour, off white head. Aroma of pineapple, peach, very fruity, sweet, a bit sour. Flavour is light sweet, fruity, peach, oak, yeast, light sour. Medium bodied. I think, considering the sourness, this was a bit infected, but I loved it.
