I remember trying it at the Deer Park - it was good but sadly didn't appeal to the 'Carling Black Label' types. It was called 'Golden Cross' IIRC ,anyone else remember it? Drapemeister, I had replied to that myself before coming on to your post - you beat me to it..........

A search on google revealed a mention of an auction that had included a bar-towel for 'Gold Cross' lager rather than 'Golden Cross'

Barley wines now. There's a memory.I don't remember the Tetley's offering, but in The Fairway we used to drink Magnet Old, and in Whitbread pubs it was Gold Label. Firewater.

Leeds Brewery brew their own lager (available in the hostelry on New Station Street), but I don't know if it's handpulled.
