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.

Visit to their tap room last year: Amber hazy pour. Plenty of aromas: fruit (especially mango, passion fruit, peaches), caramel, candy, herbs and hops. Flavours add pineapple and pines to it - very enjoyable

Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours hazy golden with a dissipating white head. The aroma is fresh, bright, tangy, juicy, hedgerow fruits, berry, rhubarb, plum, white grape, hay, must and sweat. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, bright, puckering, zingy, gooseberry, plum, white grape, tart berries, jammy, lactic, splash of acidity, funky, minerality, spicy, sherbet and fizzy sour candy with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Bright and zingy. Moreish and fun.

Rocky off white head left a froth on a amber coloured still body. Malt, marmalade & pithy aroma. Medium bodied, smooth & gluey with a sharp dry back. Bitter, pithy, grapefruit, marmalade & malt tastes with a long tangy finish. Excellent - Bring back the WC!

[33cl can from Beer52.] A golden amber coloured pour with a fast fading white head; malty aroma with a hint of pine resin; ugary body with some apricots; and a biscuity finish with lingering pine. A pleasant west coast style IPA.

Cask, pint at The Marine Hotel. It pours ever so slightly hazy amber with an orangey with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is bready, nice floral character, orange blossom, tropical vibes, passion fruit and mango action. The taste is dry initially bready and biscuity malt, floral accents upfront, peppery spice, waxy citrus peel, pithy, zesty, tropical fruits, mango, peach and some spice. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Nice condition. Decent.

16oz can from salt Horse. near black pour with a wispy beige head, light lacing. Sweet malty aroma, roasty, brown sugar, coffee. taste is sugary also, sweet, roasty malts cropping up in the background. Oily, loose feel, but leaves with a dry, bitter finish.Interesting.

Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours clear golden - amber with a a medium white head. The aroma is earthy, spicy, herbal, woody, waxy citrus rind, biscuit and hay. The taste is firmly dry, decent hit of lingering bitterness, earthy, woody, grassy, some tannin, toothy, herbal, spicy, rivita and some bitter citrus peel with a drying, woody finish. Average body and moderate+ carbonation. Pretty punchy actually. Plenty of fresh pioneer hops anyhow. I prefer the previous iterations tbh, but this is still decent.
