FUNK YEAH if you want bright, funky acid and contemporary gueuze energy,
Lindemans Oude Gueuze Cuvée René if you want refined complexity and heritage depth.
Both hit 5 IBU and sit in that tart sweet spot, but Beachwood's playing modern—think Brett-forward and snappy. Lindemans is the elder statesman: layered, patient, built for contemplation. Pick based on your mood, not your palate.

FUNK YEAH
FUNK YEAH cracks open with this immediate barnyard funk—not off-putting, just *alive*. You get bright acidity that actually snaps your jaw shut, followed by this dry, almost peppery finish that lingers. At 6.5%, there's enough weight to carry the wild yeast without feeling heavy. It's a gueuze that announces itself.
Lindemans Oude Gueuze Cuvée René
Lindemans Oude Gueuze Cuvée René is smoother on entry—you don't get blindsided. Instead, it unfolds: subtle funky notes, this orchard-fruit undertone, then a gentle tartness that feels integrated, not aggressive. The lower ABV lets you taste the blend's maturity rather than the alcohol. This is a sipper that reveals itself over time.
