The first and only one. In 1901, Maxim Ale was first introduced to the North East. Following an increase in strength in 1938, it became known as Double Maxim. This premium quality ale is still famous among discerning drinkers for its well-rounded flavour.

500ml bottle from B&M. Amber beer with a frothy, off-white head. A light, malty aroma and the flavour is malt and fruit. A nice beer.

500ml bottle at home. Pours clear amber with little to no head. Malt aromas, malt sweet taste. Malty. One dimensional in a not very good way. Thin too.

500ml bottle. Clear dark brown copper-amber colour, frothy off-white head leaving some lacing, and aroma of fruity caramel & bread with roasted and nutty notes. The taste is sweetish malt caramel, some spicy bitterness through to the finish, turning earthy dry with a metallic edge. Medium bodied & moderate carbonation. OK.

Amber beer with a frothy, off-white head. A light, malty aroma and the flavour is malt and a fruity edge too. Pleasant but not special.
