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

Poured from bottle at Made in the Shade 2009. Very sparkling, highly carbonated. Huge white head. Toasted bread really comes through in the aroma and flavor. Has a number of dried fruit characteristics from the yeast. Dry finish.

Delicious. Subtle flavors, incredibly smooth. Lots of fruit, peaches and apple, with a dry, slightly sour finish. Yum.

750 ML 2008 Bottle-Trade w/hellbilly-Cloudy golden color w/a large white head. Crisp dried fruit aroma. Flavors of wheat, grass, bread dough, white pepper, a little honey, & light fruit/citrus. Crisp, fresh, & easy to drink. Made a great nightcap, & after splitting 6 Lost Abbeys sitting around the campfire @ the end of a day of Kayaking, I was capped!!! Gotta thank Joshua & KP who sent me these great beers!!

Purchased from West Lakeview Liquors in Chicago. Pours a murkey pale gold color, with white frothy head. Aroma of lemon, sweet yeasty bread. Taste of sweet bread, lemon, and coriander. Crisp carbonated mouthfeel. Very tasty!

Pours a murky honey color. 1.5" head in tulip glass. A little more bitter than I like and not as sweet as I prefer for a beer like this. Still nice though
