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 clear pale peachy coloured with a couple of bubbles on top. The aroma is earthy, funky, pleasant brett vibes, oak, hay, spice, orchard fruits and rhubarb & custard boiled sweets. The taste is firmly dry, crisp, oak, brett, funk, hay, lemon rinse, puckering, zingy, spicy, rhubarb, red berry skin and rose wine vibes with a firmly dry finish. Light to medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Maybe could be done with a touch more condition and depth, but it's very drinkable indeed. Moreish for sure.
