Commercial Description:
From the French word "Garde" meaning something worth keeping, this Farmhouse Styled Ale is a most delicious companion to a loaf of freshly baked bread from the oven. Grab a seat on the porch, some soft cheese and a tree ripened apple from your grandmother's old orchard. Relax and watch the evening arrive as the afternoon sun is consumed by the illuminating moon over the gardens. We brewed Avant Garde for you, our friends and families. Here's to things worth guarding over. http://www.lostabbey.com

Hazy beige. Aroma of apple, some peach, light perfume. Very yeasty, with an astringent dustiness but that fades amidst bright florals and leafy hops. That character carries through the beer. Yeah, not the best notes but I was enjoying the beer and my friends.

Bottled (corked 1 pint, @Beer Hunters)
Orange-amber hazy (when yeast added) color, small creamy head. Fruity nose has orange and coriander. Light to medium bodied. Belgian yeast, orange peels, coriander and fresh wood in the flavor. More Belgian than French, but is as exciting as the most biere de gardes.
