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.

This to me is the face of Nashville beer. It doesn't get any better than this beer here in Nashville. As a local I wish the beer was more affordable because it would be in my fridge at all times but its about 14.99 for a 4 pack and that is my only gripe.

I had this beer on tap in a shaker pint at Black Tap in the Venetian in Las Vegas.
Appearance: medium golden hue with a little haze and a thin layer of ivory foam atop.
Smell: a bit sweet with a little tropical hop anroma and a smooth citrus character. I like the composition, though more intensity would be good.
Taste: very well balanced between sweetness and hoppiness; bitterness is low, befitting the style. Hops are a little citrusy, a little grassy. I like it.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent carbonation and creaminess.
Overall: a pretty tasty NEIPA; I could definitely have a few of these.

Canned 9/19/23 bright citrus and tropical hops a little bite but very smooth I was quite impressed with this especially considering I got it at a holiday party where I thought I would only find Yuengling. Would pick it up again if I found it.

Nice haze. Lots of tangerine. Sweet yet sour. Underwhelming finish yet refreshing from the tap.

Classic hazy-NEIPA look. The nose is where this baby shines. Juicy mango, pineapple, and guava stick out with some some subtle pine notes. Almost a perfect aroma. Mouthfeel is medium with mild to moderate carbonation. The flavor mirrors the aroma, but the finish leaves a lot to be desired. This is almost too balanced. This also lacks any noticeable bitterness. Very refreshing but will not spend $16 on a 4 pack of this again.

Grassy, medicinal ipa. Tasty and tart. Interesting. Found it in a Bucees in TN during summer vacation where I wanted to try a local brew. Herbal notes galore, nothing boring here whatsoever. Citrus and haze to boot. Hazy NE IPAs arent my go-to but no regrets here.

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.
