FUNK YEAH NECTARINE if you want fruit-forward brightness and a modern twist,
Lindemans Oude Gueuze Cuvée René if you want classic funky complexity.
Both are proper gueuzes with identical IBUs, but Beachwood's nectarine addition pushes it into dessert territory while Lindemans leans into that dusty, barnyard elegance. The half-point ABV difference is negligible—it's really about whether you want the fruit to announce itself or let the wild yeast do the talking.

FUNK YEAH NECTARINE
Beachwood's nectarine hits you first—bright stone fruit that feels almost jammy without being cloying. There's a zippy sourness underneath that keeps it from getting too sweet, and you catch some of that classic gueuze funkiness lurking in the background, but honestly the nectarine is the main character here. The carbonation is crisp enough to keep it from feeling heavy despite the fruit. It's a gueuze that doesn't taste scared of being approachable.
Lindemans Oude Gueuze Cuvée René
This tastes like someone cracked open a bottle that's been sitting in a Belgian grandmother's cellar for years. Dry, funky, with this musty-but-not-unpleasant character that makes you think about leather, old wood, and something vaguely floral. The sourness is subtle and elegant rather than puckering—it unfolds slowly on your palate. There's almost no fruit character to speak of; it's all about the wildness of the fermentation.
