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.

Many thanks to Sean for this bottle. The beer starts fruity-spicy with a nice sweetish malty body. An early no bitterness, slightly malty-funky till the end. The aftertaste is fresh and fruity with a nice farmhouse-ale-like sourish-spicy aroma. Nice beer, but for me a bit too sweet in the body, that covers a bit of the spicy funkiness.

Keg at the Hanging Bat - Edinburgh. Pours lightly unclear gold with a creamy white head. Strong yeast and phenol aroma with notes of doughy wheat and tangerine. Medium sweet flavour with mild fusel alcohols, hay, phenols, bubblegum, ripening citrus. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly warming finish, some dry wheat, rindy tangerine. Pretty nice tripel.

Keg at Six D Aberdeen. It pours golden-amber with a decent white head. The nose is sweet, juicy, honey, apple, pear, melon, light spice and apricot preserve. The taste is bitter-sweet, apple, alcohol warmth, pear, melon, straw, honey, damp leaves, wood and spice with a dry, warming finish. Medium-full body, fine carbonation and oily mouth-feel. Thankfully not too sweet at all. Pretty nice tripel.

Keg at Six D Aberdeen. It pours near black with a decent tan head. The nose is cocoa, earthy roast, coffee, vimto, dark fruits, jammy berry, light spice and cherry cola. The taste is bitter, rich roast, charred wood, berry, mild acidity, toasty, warming alcohol, jam, cola, cherry, grape skin and festive spice with a drying, earthy finish. Medium-full body and moderate carbonation. Good depth. Pretty tasty, but I have to admit I prefer last years version.
