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.

The taste is dry, bitter, oily, resinous, pine, leafy, sappy, sticky citrus marmalade, grapefruit, bitter orange, splash of campari, peppery spice and a touch of alcohol with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Works rather well. Good bitterness to it. Nice west coast IPA.

440ml can, 524, 8.2 % abv, from Vinmonopolet Langnes. A well sized fawn-coloured head leaving spotty lacing on the glass, near-black body with a deep ruby glint. Promising aromas of grainy chocolate, vanilla sweetness to it. Tastes fine with carefully hints of milk chocolate, caramel. and a spicy touch, light pastry impression. Grainy bittersweet tail, nicely roasted. Sweet, bit not overly so. Likable sipper on a Friday eve. (Tromsø 08.04.2022).

Can from Cork & Cask. Hazy deep golden body with an off-white head. No visible carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of stewed tea and dried orange peel. Flavour of lemon and orange. Medium body with a powdery mouthfeel. Soft fizz. The label states it’s a NE IPA, but it’s not really at 4.7% ABV or with the use of Kveik yeast. It’s a decent beer, tangy and sharp.

Can from Cork & Cask. Clear deep golden body with an of-white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of vine tomato and flower stems. Flavour of watermelon and orange jelly. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. A decent IPA but Madison tops it. It’s great to see Six Degrees North brewing quality west coast IPAs.

440ml can from Vinmonopolet Nettbutikk. A well sized, snow white head resting on top of a misty late straw coloured body, spotty lacing. Inviting aromas of green hops, ripe lemon and grass. Lemon and apples peels to the taste profile, lightly tartness to it. Dry bitter ending. Clean on the swallow. Refreshing and pretty fair. (Tromsø 21.03.2022).
