FUNK YEAH NECTARINE if you want fruit-forward funk and contemporary boldness,
Lindemans Oude Gueuze Cuvée René if you want classic restraint and time-earned complexity.
Both are true gueuzes with that signature dry finish, but Beachwood swings for the fences with nectarine character while Lindemans lets the wood and age do the talking. Neither is better—it's about what your palate is ready for right now.

FUNK YEAH NECTARINE
This one hits you immediately with stone fruit—not subtle nectarine flavoring, but actual nectarine flesh presence on the nose. The tartness builds gradually rather than punching front-loaded; there's a creamy middle that makes you think they've blended some younger stock in here. Finishes bone-dry with a peppery spice underneath, and that nectarine doesn't fade—it lingers like it's earned its place in the blend. Modern gueuze energy.
Lindemans Oude Gueuze Cuvée René
Tighter, more restrained pour. You get dried apricot and old wood immediately, then this funky horse-blanket character that whispers rather than shouts. The carbonation is delicate—almost champagne-like in texture. This tastes like it's been doing its thing in a cellar for years; there's a weathered quality, a dryness that feels earned, not added. Pure gueuze tradition in a glass.
