Ray		15 Aug 2013	Marginal 2*. This was not Saint of old. Now malt laden with very subdued hopping. Hope this is just a temporary aberation.

McGargle		23 Aug 2011	Flavours seem more muted than when it was first released. Still plenty of resinous pine and fruity hops to keep interest. Long drying finish.

McGargle		08 Jun 2011	Over-carbonated and over-chilled it had none of the expected booming resinous flavours. Just felt slightly acidic in the mouth.

McGargle		17 Feb 2011	Somehow muted and toned down from the booming, exuberant beer it was. Not a patch on previous versions. Another recipe change?

McGargle		11 Nov 2010	A little toned down. Booming resinous flavouts not so apparent.
