Another beer which confused me for a long time is K. In my brewery log spreadsheet the style is still described as “?”. Though I’m now pretty certain that it’s a type of Pale Ale. A Light Dinner Ale or something similar. Or, on draught, Light Bitter.

I base that mostly on the hopping rate of 10 lbs per quarter (336 lbs) of malt. Considerably more than the 4.3 lbs per quarter of the Mild Ale of a similar strength.

There’s a relatively dull grist of just their two base malts, pale and mild. Not really anything more I can say about that.

As usual, Tetley kept all the complexity for the hopping. Where there are five different types: Kent from the 1887 crop, Worcester from 1886, 1887 and 1887, and Burgundy from 1887.
