FUNK YEAH NECTARINE if you want a gueuze that tastes like someone fermented stone fruit into a beer,
Jacobins Gueuze if you want the classic Brussels funky baseline.
Both clock the same IBUs and similar ABV, but Beachwood's is playing a different game—it's a gueuze that wants to be remembered as a *fruit experience* first. Jacobins stays truer to the traditional tart, yeasty, musty character that defined the style in Belgium for centuries.

FUNK YEAH NECTARINE
FUNK YEAH NECTARINE hits you immediately with that stone fruit character—it's not a whisper, it's present from the first sip. The nectarine doesn't taste artificial; it reads as if they fermented the actual juice in there. Behind it you get the expected gueuze snap: white vinegar brightness, a prickle of carbonation that's alive on your tongue, and a drying finish that prevents this from ever becoming cloying. It's the kind of beer that makes you say 'oh, *that's* what they did' before you even think about the style.
Jacobins Gueuze
Jacobins Gueuze tastes like what a gueuze should taste like—funky, musty, with that indefinable Belgian barn character that comes from years of blending and wild yeast work. The acidity is there but measured, not aggressive. You get lactic sourness, a faint herbal thing in the background, and a finish that's bone-dry without feeling harsh. It's the beer you order when you want to understand why gueuze exists as a category, not to be surprised by it.
