Notes:
The one that started it all. This heavily oated, Mosaic-only IPA softly beckons you to remember where you came from while giving you just enough of a ripe citrus kick to strive for where you want to go. Homestyle is the staple IPA of our brewery and, like almost all of our hoppy beers, focuses on highlighting the fruity & fragrant nuances of hops. At a relaxed 6.0% we think you’ll discover it’s easy to find your Homestyle.

I have had this beer many times. One thing I have noticed is the cloudiness can vary by keg. Taste is consistent. Fruity, crisp, flavor punch.

Very refreshing and easy to drink. Had it with pizza in Nashville. Does not really taste like an IPA.

Had on tap at One22West restaurant in Tullahoma, TN.
Appearance was good for a NEIPA, but the aroma and flavors are what stood out. It was moderately hoppy, fruity and delicious.

Pours a peachy yellow golden with a two finger head that settles leaving a nice lace behind.
Heavy citrus and fruity aroma
Soft, juicy, orange and lingering in a delightful way.
Excellent IPA from a trade!

16oz'er consumed while hating life on a Monday
Extremely hazy, no chunkage. Great hop aroma, lots of citrus and tropical fruit complimented by a bit of grass, weed, and funk. Both smooth *and* smoove; Sweet yet sour; Fruity yet skunky. A lot of this bitter tangerine rind kinda thing goin' on up front, ending with berries and pine. The added oat helps it go down
A winner

On tap at one22 West in Tullahoma, TN. served in a shaker pint glass.
Appearance: Mostly clear gold to amber color. Thin white head with islands of persistent lacing.
Smell: Herbal, floral, tropical fruit, citrus.
Taste: Citrus, lemon, A bit of tropical fruit and berry, nice bready malt for balance, herbal light bitter finish.
Mouthfeel: Good carbonation and thickness, smooth, not too sticky on the teeth.
Overall / Drinkability: Went well with food (chicken parmesan) but quite tasty all on its own. Nice use of a single hop, and dangerously drinkable as well. Well done.

Appearance - Pours a pale amber gold with two fingers of foamy white head.
Smell - Orange citrus, tropical fruits (pineapple and mango), peach, bready malts, caramel sweetness, bit of leafiness.
Taste - Bitter citrus and tropical hops, notes of stone fruits like peach and apricot, followed along with balanced bready malts and leafy hops. Lingering bitterness into the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation with a dry finish.
Overall - Although I don't get the haziness in appearance that other reviewers have noted, it is a fine tasting NEIPA that doesn't go too sweet.

Hazy golden color with a white head that provides ample lacing, the nose is straight Mosaic hops - dank citrus with berry notes.
Dank tangerine flavors on the taste, but the berry flavors are what make this beer for me - absolutely delicious and oh so crushable. Mouthfeel is medium and fairly dry.
Bearded Iris is world class, IMHO - truly a Nashville treasure.

A) Hazed golden body white head lasting lace and cap.
S) dank pine nose resolves in citric bitter zest.
T) Follows juicy aromas with more sweetnesss and the abrupt bitter, pine and peppery finale.
F) Juicy, prickly, fresh.
O) Clean classic NEIPA but not sip o sunshine.
