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

Pours crystal clear gold with bright white head. The aroma is sweet up front with a mix of sweet malts, candi sugar and what seems like honey. I also get sort of a wheat note followed by some burnt molasses on a big draw. The taste is malty sweet followed by a mixture of candi sugar and a bit of honey. It transitions from the beginning to end with a pleasing smoothness. At the finish I get a faint tartness rounding things out and forcing you to take another sip and begin the journey again.

75cl bottle from Charles Street Liquors (Boston). Pours a hazy dark golden with one finger white head. Nice retention and lacing. Aroma is white grapes, bready and yeasty. Flavor is somewhat malty, somewhat sweet, somewhat smoky, yeast, biscuit, ripe fruit. Generally light body with a slightly hoppy finish.

This beer pours a hazy golden color with a creamy white head and a haze in the beer. The aroma smells like bread, white meat, yeast, and some breadiness. Flavor is biscuity with some smoke. The finish is slightly bitter with some smoke. A good example of the style.

Bottle courtesy Ibrew2or3. Pours a clear golden with a large white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma has tons of sweet malt, slightly spicy yeast, and is slightly earthy. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium full mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness. Very good.
