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

Shared by BadgerBen. Aroma was wheat and spices. Cloudy yellow, with a white head. Taste had notes of hops, malts, and a touch of fruit. Not bad.

Beer shared by Badgerben in 22-oz bottle. Pours a hazy yellow amber brew with a creamy off-white head. Aroma of northern white pine, citrus peel, sweet barley malt and a touch of apple. Taste is medium bodied, lightly carbonated with flavors of biscuits, apples and some mild spices. Finish has a citrus bitter aftertaste.

Thanks for the trade, DirtyMartini! Cloudy yellow color with a medium head. Aroma of wheat and fruit. Big wheat and orange flavors with a strong bitter finish. It strikes me as a Noble hop bitterness. Not a bombastic beer, but very nice.

Thanks to BadgerBen for sharing. Pours a hazy orangish golden with a small white head. Super deep citrus and sweet fruit nose with hints of smoke. Nice sweet carbonated flavor with great peachy like fruit sweetness. Very nice!

bottle at Port Brewing tasting at the Brickskeller. cloudy gold. aroma is a mild mix of fruity malt...peaches? herbal hops, with lots of fruity malt in the front. only mildly spiced. not my favorite of the night by a long stretch, but certainly drinkable.

Bottle: Poured a medium yellow color ale with a big foamy white head with good retention and good lacing. Aroma of medium sweet malt with a distinctive yeast presence. Taste is dominated by medium sweet malt with some bread and yeast notes and a slightly dry finish. Body is about average with some great carbonation. Interesting but lacking some character to make this truly interesting and I cannot see this beer aging well.
