Responsive//Leeds Brewery//Leeds Best


Research into Leeds Brewery's leading beer
  • AT the grand old age of five, the Leeds Brewery finds itself the oldest, and largest brewery in the city, following Carlsberg’s controversial, and much-contested decision to close the historic Joshua Tetley plant and transfer its iconic beers to various Midland breweries.
  • Five pubs are now owned, all in Leeds, including the historic Garden Gate in Hunslet, which the company rescued from oblivion a year or two ago. This week we check out Leeds Best.
  • Pale orange in colour, it pours with a decent steady head, and a light aroma with a little caramel sweetness and a touch of vanilla toffee.
  • Quite full-bodied, it has a nice, cakey, malty flavour with orange peel, green apple, and hints of ginger nut biscuit and golden syrup in the background.
  • There is an initially gentle, earthy hoppiness which builds through the aftertaste, finishing spicy and bitter.
  • A very well balanced, satisfying and moreish pint.

The design for this bottle is simple. The typeface is strong and the focal point of the design. The skyline imagery is reflective of Leeds. The look of the bottle needs to be quite minimal as it needs to stand out if it is in a fridge or on a shelf.
