yeah exactly....  what i was trying to say  
it lacked 
body...McEwans was a little too syrup-y i thought
but it kicked butt  and you'd be slurring your words in no time
but now, the Belhaven tasted like Newcastle to me...
goes down like coors... swill  
didn't  know the right term but , + thanks Spence
yes the "Body" it once had..... has vanished.... 

 way sad
seems like every good beer is moving towards the "cheap" side
