Description
six°north was established in 2013. The concept was born in Belgium when founder Robert Lindsay fell in love with the country’s beer culture and tradition. He soon returned to north east Scotland to start brewing his own beers, six°north of Brussels. We make modern, artisanal beers that are driven by Belgian brewing tradition and inspired by modern brewing practices.
Our beers are unfiltered and carbonated naturally through secondary fermentation. We brew classic Belgian inspired beers, as well as modern, hop-forward styles. We also release a number of collaboration beers each year with other breweries.

Keg, sampler tray at Six Degrees North. Crocheted lacing from a film type layer. Hazy orange-gold coloured body. Mid-sweet fruity nose of orange and peach. Fruity flavours added by a subdued touch of spices and moments of yeasty fruitiness towards the lingering aftertaste. Very well integrated alcohol. Likable (Aberdeen 12.04.2016).

Bottle big thanks to Lorna! It pours clear rose/pink with a small white head. The aroma is earthy, funky, fresh raspberry & cream, touch of jam, slightly woody, vanilla and some raspberry pip. The taste is crisp, tart, bright acidity, sour raspberry, raspberry pip, green apple, old fashioned lemonade, wood, jam and sherbet with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. As with the base beer it is perhaps just a touch acidic, but I can’t help but like it.

Bottle many thanks to Lorna! It pours clear gold with a small white head. The aroma is funky, brett, barnyard, oak, creamy vanilla, hay, light spice, gooseberry, sour white grape and some floral notes. The taste is crisp, tart, bright acidity, sour green apple, earthy, funky action, earthy brett, barnyard, lemon sherbet, lactic acid edge, sour peach & nectarine, kumquat, white wine, gooseberry and dry wood with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Good depth of flavour, especially for the unblended style. Perhaps a touch acidic initially, but this is a great interpretation of the style.
