Double Maxim, Samson ESB (England) 
A great brown ale name once brewed by Vaux, and now by the revivalists at Double Maxi, under Vaux's old head brewer. It pours a golden/brown colour with a thick creamy head. The nose has a really punchy brightness of red fruits and hops, with plenty of burnt, toasty notes filling in. On the palate it is medium-bodied, with a nice chewy texture and full, broad palate of bold, citrussy fruits mellowed by toast and a touch of toffee. 5.0% ABV, 55cl, �1.69, Sainsbury's.  |  |
