Leeds - Leodis Lager4.60AcceptableServed too cold here so not really able to discern any particular outstanding flavours. Quite bitter with some sharpness. My score 14/20.

Got off the train at 8:45pm and figured it was about 10 minutes walk to the Brewery Tap. 10 seconds later we were at the Brewery Tap. The inaccuracy of the scale on my map was to amaze me over the 2 days I was up in Leeds. The brewery tap was very quiet. It had a definite "bar" feel to it but it was fine and it had a good beer line up.

Fairly quiet around teatime on a Thursday afternoon.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Tetley - Dark Mild3.20AcceptableServed too cold, so difficult to determine much flavour in this. Thin and watery. No longer brewed in Leeds, believed to come from Marston's now. My score 14/20 with B for quality.

Getting very busy around 5.30pm on a Friday evening.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Liverpool Organic - William Roscoe4.30AcceptableGolden but difficult to determine any flavours in this as it was served so cold - chill haze present and barely discernable hop and malt flavours. I think it should taste reasonable at the correct temp. My score 14/20 with C for quality - I'd estimate the serving temp at 7-8 C.

A busy Saturday afternoon, generally 20-40 year old clientelle trying interesting beers, and enjoying some food to accompany them. I did not make a note of all the beers that were available.

Busy on a late Friday afternoon with a steady stream of office workers arriving.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Tetley - Mild3.30GoodThis was the original Leeds brewed version, amber/red in colour with a lightly hopped slightly soapy taste. Some malt in the finish. My score 15/20.

Neat, tidy and with pleasant staff, this is a great little bar to wait for a train, or delay the journey home. All of Leeds's Beers are regulary available, as well as Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Peroni and Tuborg. Food served from limited menu. Lager Microbrewery on site - Leodis Lager is brewed here.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Leeds - Leeds Best4.30ExcellentMalty & sweet, but a littl heavier than the Pale, the best is a decent example of the style. Again, another session choice.
Leeds - Leeds Pale3.80ExcellentGrapefruity, hoppy and very refreshing, Leeds's flagship pale is very drinkable indeed.
Leeds - Leodis Lager5.00ExcellentProbably the best reason to visit the Brewery Tap, the Leodis Lager is brewed on-site. Refreshing and zingy but with a big, creamy body, it isn't a pale lager, but refreshing enough. More flavour than lagers usually have. A good attempt at a misunderstood style.
