We had a fantastic day with Chris from Burning Soul at our brewery in Bakewell. We created a recipe together for a brand new IPA, full of hops from America and New Zealand it packs a wallop of flavour in every mouthful; expect papaya and passionfruit on the nose with citrus and floral notes across the palate. When it came to naming a big and bold beer with a Birmingham brewery, Ozzy seemed like the perfect fit, he is the huge mechanical bull right in the heart of New Street Station.

Cask at The Colmore, Birmingham. Poured a clear yellow golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, somewhat rich, fresh, sweet citrus fruits, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Cask at Coach and Horses, Dronfield - Deep amber body, another lush white head. Good citrus punch, some sweeter hoppy notes, good mouthfeel. Nice and solid, could get carried away with this.

On tap at the York Tap, Easter Sunday 31st March 2024 after a six and a quarter hour train journey from Inverness. Pours clear gold with a white head, nice snowstorm settling. Subtle citrus, pleasant bite, abv is pretty well hidden, a little citrussy in the mouth. Really nice and in great condition.

Cask. Hallamshire House. Clear gold. Thick dense white foam. Sappy pine and buttery malts. Ripened orange. Taste has initial sweetness building to a hefty sappy bitterness. Fairly rich and smooth. Lots of body. Bitter finish. Solid.
