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.

Can from the brewery webshop. It pours lightly hazy cornflour yellow with a lasting fluffy white head. The aroma is fragrant, floral, zingy citrus, lemon, orange, sherbet, fragrant, nice G&T vibe and freshness. The taste is crisp, dryish, clean, fresh, fragrant, lemon, lime, orange peel, pomelo, touch of peppery spice, cleansing G&T, distant touch of green banana and straw with a dry finish. Light to medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Really pleasing and moreish G&T inspired wheat. Well realised.

Can from the 6DN webshop. It pours pretty much near black with a small deep tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, has a lovely big hit of coffee on the snout, espresso, nutty, chocolate, praline, forrero rocher, splash of cola, light source and wood. The taste is dry, rich roasted malt, bitter - sweet, bitterness lingers, charred oak, plenty of dark chocolate, dark roasted coffee, espresso, toasted nut, praline, woody, some umami, liquorice and rocky road with a nutty, coffee finish. Fulsome body and fine, prickly carbonation. Nice depth of flavour and for me personally great balance. Far from being too sweet. Tasty.

Can direct from the brewery. It pours lightly hazy golden - amber with a small white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, honeyed cereal, bready, sponge cake, grassy, herbal, damp, pear drops, melon and some crunchy nut cornflakes. The taste is dry, bitter, green, weedy, herbal, jaegermeister, bready malt, peppery spice, boozey heat, only a mellow honey character, hay and a touch of icing sugar with a drying, herbal finish. Medium+ body and fine to moderate frothy carbonation. Has boozy punch to it anyway. Not a huge amount of depth, but enjoyable anyhow.
