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 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.

33cl Bottle. Appearance - light olden lemon with a decent head. Nose - tangy slightly farmhouse. If there’s any fruit it’s probably somewhere between lemon and pineapple. Taste - definitely a herby pineapple on the taste. Palate - medium bodied with some sweet and soir going on through the middle section and a dry tangy finish. Overall - a solid representation of a Saison. Would’ve liked deeper pineapple flavours and the expected spiciness was missing. Enjoyable though.

Bottle from The Beerhive. Cloudy golden body with no head, carbonation or lacing. Aroma of cardboard, banana and pear. Dull fruity flavour with a hint of metal. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft carbonation. Ugly, thin and bland - not great. This bottle was 4.6% ABV.

Keg at the vintage... Deep. Black... Thin tan head... Again to cold and way way to fuzzy for a stout... Light charcoal... And tiny sour like hints but that may just be the fizz which is totally ruining this

Tasting from bottle thanks to Pete @ Beerhive. Appearance - looks like a Wit, kind of cloudy/bitty with a thin head. The colour is barely cream. Nose - gently creamy/wheaty with no hint of the expected orange or coriander. Taste - as with the nose. Palate - very light and thin bodied but a refreshing drink at least. Overall - perhaps lacklustre would be a slightly better name as it lacks the body expected in a wit. However, it wasn’t unpleasant.
