Cuvee Reserve if you want farmhouse funk with restraint,
OUDE GREGG if you want wild complexity and vinous depth.
Both clock in around 6% ABV and sip dry, but they're coming from different philosophies—Burning Sky builds their blend for balance and drinkability, while Beachwood's gueuze is a full conversation. The IBU gap (10 vs. 5) barely registers; these aren't about bitterness. Pick based on whether you're in the mood for approachable barn notes or challenging fermentation character.

Cuvee Reserve
Cuvee Reserve hits you with immediate dried fruit and subtle barnyard spice—the kind of restraint that makes you think Burning Sky knows exactly what they're doing. There's a mineral dryness on the finish that feels intentional, not accidental. The farmhouse character doesn't overpower; it plays second fiddle to clean acidity. You could drink three of these without feeling beaten up.
OUDE GREGG
OUDE GREGG is the one that demands attention. There's this layered sourness that tastes like green apple skin and leather, with a slight funkiness that reminds you these are wild yeasts at work. The body feels bigger than 6% ABV suggests—vinous, almost wine-like. It's not aggressive; it's just *present*, demanding you think about each sip.
