Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Boon Oude Geuze if you want the purist's lambic experience,
OUDE GREGG if you want American craft ambition applied to a Belgian tradition.
Both are gueuzes at nearly identical ABV and IBU, but Boon is the real deal—decades of blending expertise in a glass. OUDE GREGG is Beachwood's respectful take, but it swings slightly different in character. Pick based on whether you're after historical authenticity or West Coast interpretation.

Boon Oude Geuze
Boon hits you with serious funky complexity—that musty, slightly barnyard quality that makes purists nod approvingly. There's a sharp tartness that cuts clean, almost citrus-edged, with this underlying dryness that refuses to quit. The carbonation is lively but never aggressive. It feels alive in your mouth, genuinely wild, like you're drinking something that's been evolving in oak for years—because it has.
OUDE GREGG
OUDE GREGG plays it a touch cleaner, brighter. The funk is there but more restrained, almost polished. You get stone fruit notes—apricot, maybe some green apple—cutting through the sour in a way that feels deliberate, crafted. The carbonation is refined, and it finishes drier than you'd expect. It's approachable without being simple, ambitious without losing balance.
