A to the K
A to the K is one of Alphabet's oldest beers, first brewed in Manchester and around since the end of 2014. It is an American pale ale at 5.6%, hopped with Columbus and Mosaic. The two varieties give it a tropical aroma, and the hop character stays pronounced from the first sip onwards. The finish is dry and clearly bitter rather than soft or sweet, so the beer reads as a firm, hop-led pale ale.
