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 menu at the Hanging Bat, 1/3 pint. Pitch black body, naked surface, dotted spots to the glassware. Malts and dried fruits to the notes, hint of rhubarb. Bittersweet jam-like taste profile of anise, caramel, dried fruits and rhubarb. Fresh malt-fruity ending. Masked alcohol. Very tasty (Edinburgh 08.08.2013).

Keg at the Hanging Bat. Pours hazy yellow with a thin white head. Aromas are really good - peppery spice, Belgian yeast, lemon. More lemon on the taste, and quite a dry finish. Carbonation a bit low, but overall a very nice beer.

Aroma: Brown sugar, Belgian yeast, raisins, banana and spice.

Appearance: Black body with no head. Almost no lacing.

Taste: Very tangy and fruity - juicy plum, banana and raisin. Hint of booze, but not too harsh. Toffee in there too. Reminds me of Christmas pudding. Delicious and complex.

Palate: Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Lively carbonation.

Overall: Their best, most interesting beer so far - it’s packed full of rich flavours. However, if Six Degrees North truly want to replicate the best Belgian beers, the mouthfeel of their beers needs to be slightly fuller and they need to learn how to produce massive frothy heads.

Keg at the Bat. Pours hazy amber-brown with a thin off-white head. Aromas of Belgian yeast and sweet malts, toffee. Light sweetness on the flavour, well balanced by yeast notes and light hop bitterness. Medium bodied, bit slick in the mouth. Good beer though.

Aroma - very soft belgian yeast, hint of banan, slight spicy, bit musty
Taste sa aroma, bitter yeast, background of pale malts, touch of cake mix
Palate - Thinnish body, bit oily. Finish - quite bitter, yeasty, slight metallic linger

Aroma: Kiwi fruit with a hint of banana.

Appearance: Hazy pale golden body with no head, no carbonation and no lacing.

Taste: Lemon, grapefruit and yeast. Very sharp and bitter.

Palate: Thin to medium body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Very light carbonation prickle.

Overall: Reminds be slightly of a weak, thin Hefeweizen. This is tasty, but it’s quite similar to their other beers.
