K is a British cider manufactured and distributed by the Gaymer Cider Company of Bath, England. Unusually for a British drink, it is sold in both America and the United Kingdom.
Noted for its bittersweet flavour and advertised under the slogan 'Strong. Refreshing. Different.', the canned version available in the UK is 8.4% ABV while the bottled version comes in two varieties, 8.4% and "K6" at 6.3%. The bottled version available in the US is 6.9%.
Cans and bottles of K have a highly distinctive look, coloured black with a scarlet K in the centre of the container. Each can has the following legend printed upon it: "It has always been presumed that 'X' means strength however premium liquids of a superior quality have always been marked with a 'K'. So when you want the ultimate in quality, look for this K."
Also in the bottled variety there was an ultra violet Limited Edition in a mauve bottle which reflected UV light for the club scene.
K has provided many a people with many a good night, and is probably the best value for drunkness cider in the world. All hail King K!
