FUNK YEAH SANTA ROSA PLUM if you want fruit-forward funk and tartness,
Jacobins Gueuze if you want balanced, understated complexity.
Both are bone-dry spontaneous ferments, but Beachwood's plum addition gives it a distinctive identity—it's not just a traditional gueuze. Jacobins plays it straighter, letting the age and blend speak for themselves. Pick based on whether you're chasing novelty or purity.

FUNK YEAH SANTA ROSA PLUM
Beachwood's plum hit me immediately—it's not subtle, but it doesn't overpower either. You get that classic gueuze funkiness underneath: musty, slightly vinegary, barnyard notes. The plum adds this gentle stone-fruit sweetness that rounds out the sharp edges without making it cloying. Dry finish, medium body. It's a gueuze that actually tastes like something happened to it, which is refreshing.
Jacobins Gueuze
Jacobins is what happens when you nail the fundamentals. No gimmicks—just a clean, settled gueuze that tastes like it's been sitting in oak for years. There's a crisp sourness, some green apple, a whisper of hay. It drinks lighter than its siblings, almost delicate. The carbonation is gentle. This is the gueuze you drink when you want to taste the craft of blending, not chase a flavor angle.
