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.

Bottle from Westhill Service Station. It pours cloudy red with a quickly dissipating white head. The aroma is sweet - sour, tangy raspberry, raspberry yoghurt and slighty woodsy. The taste is crisp, firmly dry, puckering, tart raspberry, sherbet dib dab, refreshers, minerality, touch of yoghurt and a touch of apple skin. Medium body and fine, prickly. Not a huge amount to it tbh, but it has plenty of raspberry and a nice tart edge.

Bottle from Westhill Service Station. It pours clear deep red with a thick, lasting beige cap. The aroma is sweet - sour, juicy, tangy, great depth of red fruit, cherry, redcurrant, raspberry, jammy, vinous and also some oak spice.

Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Lovely stuff. Great fruity vinous character and funk. Comes together very well.

330ml bottle from Honest Brew. Look - murky dark brown, big light-beige frothy head of which a half-finger worth stays the course. Looks good. Aroma - sweet lightly roasted malts, stone fruits. Not getting much complexity. Taste - sweet malts, light roast, stone fruity hop with a touch of resin, moderate bitterness. Fairly tasty if a bit light and not too complex. Palate - medium bodied and a frothy carbonation mouthfeel. Not one of the best Black IPAs.

0,33 flaske fra min trofaste leverandør av kvalitetsprofylakse, hjemme: lett uklar gylden med utmerket skum som holder følge helt ned. Frisk&spenstig aroma og smak med citrus, aprikoser og deilige kryddertoner fra belgisk (?) gjær. God maltkropp, behagelig bitterhet i den friske og krydrede ettersmaken gir høy ff (forfriskningsfaktor).

330ml bottle, 456, from Vinmonopolet Nettbutikk. Dissipating fawn-head, scattered lacing, deep, almost, black body in the glass. Inviting smell of cherry and mid-sweet, roasted chocolate malts. Well balanced taste profile of toffee, chocolate, dark fruits and berries, subdued backbone of oak vanilla. Smoothly roasted ending, warming down the swallow. Well bodied. Perfect sipper an a lazy Saturday afternoon. (Tromsø 13.02.2021).
