If we query type field
SELECT Type FROM Task
It will thorough the error as "No such type of column 'Type' on entity 'Task'".
But if we see in the App Setup->Customize->Activities->Task Fields
We will find 'type' field as picklist

Check field level security settings to make sure its not being hidden.

@Superfell, I actually find this contradictory to what docs suggest. As per docs
Apex generally runs in system context; that is, the current user's permissions, field-level security, and sharing rules aren’t taken into account during code execution.If we use "with sharing", still in that case as well as per docsEnforcing sharing rules by using the with sharing keyword doesn’t enforce the user's permissions and field-level security. Apex code always has access to all fields and objects in an organization, ensuring that code won’t fail to run because of hidden fields or objects for a user.Commented Apr 19, 2013 at 5:30 -
So why would the Type field not be accessible in the query? Am i thinking too much or is there any reason to the field not being accessible? Commented Apr 19, 2013 at 5:31

I know it seems crazy but we can't report on the std field Type of the Activities/Task. So only WorkAround is by creating a custom Type field to use it in reports.
