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.

Tap at Friends of Ham, Leeds. Lightly hazy, copper colour. Minimal head. Orange blossom honey. Barley sugars. Taste is fruit dryness. Doesn’t feel it’s ABV. Dry finish with a tad of bitterness.

Cloudy and tan. Aroma has doughy malts, and some light herbal hops. Very yeasty palate and the malts are indeed doughy, and overall this muddled presentation is a negative.

Cloudy light tan. Not a good look. Aroma is quite fruity and yeasty, the taste similar, but more refined. The malts are pale and a little bit doughy, the citrus might be a bit muddled but it’s refreshing. Bitterness isn’t huge but it’s just enough. A decent take on the old "Belgian IPA" fad.

Cloudy blonde. Smells kind of like a fruit salad - pears, banana, melon, apple. Light yeast (weihen hefe?) and pale malts first, then fuller bodied but blandish doughy pale malts and yeasty hops.

Keg at The Hanging Bat. Pours hazy orange, thin to no head. Belgian yeast esters high on the nose, alcohol and orange peel. Light spice. Taste has more yeastiness, more dried orange peel. Oily texture, dry finish. Not bad.

Keg at the vintage... Was warned Murky... And it is.. Small white head... Soft banana toffee nose... Too cold and a bit over fizzy... Sweet banana toffee... Soft mellow... Light peppery yeast finish... Ruined by the fizz for me.

Tap at Friends of Ham, Leeds. Hazy, pale amber. Sweetness similar to caramel popcorn. Some spiciness along the lines of star anise. Got a hint of blue cheese, too. Taste is grassy dry. Little in the way of bitterness. Long, dry finish. Slightly curious. Liked it.

Keg at Six D North, Aberdeen. It pours cloudy pale orange with a small white head. The nose is earthy, wheat, barnyard, some cream cheese and hay. The taste is crisp, orange, tangerine, minerals, wheat, light fruity tartness and sherbet with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Nice citrus character to it. Crisp and very drinkable. Tasty stuff.
