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 a cloudy deep honey yellow color with a thinnish white head. Smells like any fizzy yellow beer but with a touch more sweetness. Tastes like a fizzy yellow beer on a few ’roids.Good and malty but thats about it. Nice and crisp palate with lots of body to it. Coats the mouth just a bit. Pretty classic beer, but honestly I was expecting something more.

Bottle from Bev Mo. A beautiful glowing golden pour with a slight orange hue. Head was big, frothy and off white. Spotty lacing left on glass. Had kind of a musty, herbal aroma with notes of wheat, spice, clove, nutmeg, citrus and bananas. The flavor is semi sweet and a little spicy, Lost Abbey.....I love you.

Liquid Gold, it lived up to it’s reputation and was worth the price. The golden color was mesmerizing and then I tasted it.

Bottle. Light amber with small head. Slightly carbonated on the palate. The aroma was a complexity of spices (clove and nutmeg), and honey. The taste was of honey and spices but the spices were not overwhelming. A good beer to have on a warm day. Very refreshing.

2006 bottle. This was the second Lost Abbey Ale I tried, after Devotion, and I thought this one more complex and flavorful. Light orange body. Foamy head. Yeasty, musty spice aroma with hints of hay and caramel and a hint of band-aid. The malts and earthiness work well together. The flavor is moderately sweet and moderately bitter/peppery. Lively carbonation feels prickly. Medium body. Bitter finish.
