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

Bottle. Poured nice golden/amber yellow. huge lively head from a hard pour. Smell of cloves, spice, coriander, wheat, nutmeg and peppar. Taste is pretty much the same. Nice mouth feel with a pretty good carbonation. Great Biere de Garde from Tomme.

Bouteille de 750ml, avec bouchon de liège, obtenue via Importations Privées Bièropholie. Arôme: Odeur fruité avec des épices. Apparence: La couleur est blonde voilée. Présence d’un moyen col mousseux et d’une large dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût d’épices et de pamplemousse avec une pointe de pommes. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de pomme en arrière goût. (Rating #1486)

The pour reveals a clear dark gold color with a thin, bubbly, white head. The aroma has a good dose of funky barnyard with a spicy, fruity, malty presence. The flavor is pleasantly funky with spices, malt and mild tart fruits. The body is full with an oily texture and soft carbonation. This is a pretty solid bière de garde.

Pours a darker cloudy yellow. Aroma of spices and a little funk. Very interesting flavor profile that is hard to describe. It’s lke spices and a funk......but in a good way. Would compliment some cheeses rather well. Nice brew, but not something I’d want to drink every day.

Pours beautiful color. Great fuity aroma, nicely formed head. Taste is fruity at first, with a nice hoppy bitter finish to even it all out. Was a little maltier than I expected.

Pours a slightly fogged gold amber. Nose is like woody apples. Strong sweet tone is there too. Flavor is a tangy wood. Almost like this was aged in some type of wooden barrel. Feel is thick on carbonation and typical on liquid. Overall this is not really a favorite style of mine. Quite the opposite really. I can say without hesitation that it is one of my least. This one is pretty well made though and is even and consistent. If you can dig the style, give it a shot. For me though, I can’t say I will try it again, but that is only because of my personal tastes.

Not one of Lost Abbey’s best beers. Moderate hoppy taste mixed with flavors of grapefruit. Nice lacing and lively taste.
