jasoncoles52	5 Edale Kinder Downfall Wednesday, December 31, 2014
Leighton	3 Wellington's Beyond The Call Bottle shared at the ChrisO Flags of Many Nations Easter Tasting 2013 - London. Vintage appx. 2004. Pours lightly hazy, dark gold with a fine, filmy white head. Nose of aged malts, leathery fruits, dried caramel. Light sweet flavor with intense yet muddled sour malts and tangy berries. Light bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Lightly quenching sour finish, some aged caramel malt character. Interesting. Sunday, July 14, 2013

chriso	2.9 Wellington Conviction Cask, at Newark Beer Festival, May 2004. Notes recovered from a recently unearthed old notebook. A straightforward, quite pale quaffing bitter. Moderately bitter, with more hops than malt. Solid but not too exciting. Wednesday, February 24, 2010

haddonsman	3.1 Edale Kinder Downfall Cask (gravity) at the Burton summer CAMRA festival 2005. A slightly chewy bitter, some decent malt in there but it was hard work to get any lasting flavour out of it. Tuesday, March 21, 2006

maeib	4 Wellington Volenti Cask conditioned - handpump - Malt Shovel Northampton. I’ve e mailled the brewery about this one as I’m convinced it’s a Belgian Wit. A slightly hazy golden/yellow coloured beer with an aroma of spices, lemons and wheat. There is coriander and curacao in both the aroma and the taste. It’s really a lovely drink, very clean, very tasty and very moriesh. Not quite as heavily full-bodied as some wheats but perhaps the better for that. Truly lovely. Postscript: Response received from the brewery: There is minimal wheat used for head retention only, and no spices. Mainly Maris Otter Malt with Fuggles and Styrian Goldings hops. So much for my Belgian Wit theory! However it still remains a delicious beer. Sunday, February 20, 2005
haddonsman	3.2 Edale Kinder Lurcher Hand-pumped at Chesterfield CAMRA festival 2005. Only ordered it to use up the last token amd I happened to be stood next to the Edale section at the time but it was well worth it; a lovely light bitter, very well hopped, almost golden ale refreshing. Tuesday, February 8, 2005
MrWalker	3.5 Edale Right To Roam Cask @ Oxford Beer Festival, UK Backlog 22 Oct 2004 A hoppy brew with a hint of butterscotch and powerfully herbal. Friday, January 7, 2005
leaparsons	3.3 Edale Kinder Challenge Apparently brewed for the Edale beer barrel race (and the beer ends up in Leicester..?). Aromas are sweet and fruity with caramel and floral notes. Flavours are buttery, with kiwi and pear. Fruity and mellow with a good dry finish. A good session bitter. Tuesday, September 21, 2004
DanielBrown	3.2 Edale Kinder Stout Gravity at the Birmingham Beer Festival. Black, beige ring head. Slimmish aroma. Bitter choc taste. Compared to this evening’s Milds and Porters, this is markedly heavier. Deep roasty taste. Nice. Monday, September 20, 2004

haddonsman	2.9 Edale Golden Ghost Hand pull; first brewed for the Derby Beer Festival. Clear golden body, starts bland but has a lovely understated hoppy hint and sherbert dip dryness. Sunday, July 18, 2004
Joeh	3.5 Wellington Conviction Cask Conditioned, White Horse Hedgerley, Bucks. Gravity dispense, poured by me. A decent blond ale that just tasted a little like unfermented wort. Not really a bad thing. Tuesday, June 15, 2004
SilkTork	2.6 Wellington Hoppy Waters Gravity, Reading Beer Festival. Yellowy gold or light amber. Tangy, fairly dry session bitter. Light and refreshing with a mild memory of citric in the finish. Monday, May 3, 2004
