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

Beershine and Oakes, thank you. Pours a cloudy gold/yellow color. White head. Aroma has caramel malt, yeast, honey wheat bread and light apple notes. Flavor is refreshing and pretty yeasty and malty. Some apple flavors as well. Good beer.

Pours a hazy golden with a thin fine white froth. Sweet fruity aroma with some earthy malt notes. Flavor follows, sweet and fruity, some yeast, a bit floral, just not really interesting. Medium bodied with a lighter mouthful, nice smooth velvety fine sizzling carbonation though, a bit chalky.

75cl bottle. Pours an unclear hazt orange with a small creamy white head. Nose is caramel and orange fruits. Sweet and very malty dominated. Dry and bready malty taste. Vague hints of spices and hops. Solid and enjoyable.

Pours brilliant orange (vienna malt?) and hazy. Distinct raisin paste/coconut oil aroma, flavor and mouthfeel as in SPF 45, though toned-down. Also, tangerine rind and black currant with mellow finish.

Hazy orange with a lasting white head. Strong bready malt aroma, with a cardemum spicy note. Dry, but rich malt flavour, caramel and bread. Slightly spicy and with a firm hop bitterness.

My Bottle (750ml) shared with HogTownHarry, garthicus, GregClow, tupalev & jerc -- c/o TheEpeeist. Pours a hazy golden-orange with an average size frothy diminishing white head. Aroma is bready along with caramel malt, grain, light hops and oranges. Flavour of malt, grain, light floral hops, yeast and citrus fruit. Medium bodied. Another Lost Abbey winner!

Bottle@Home. What a nice beer to drink in the early spring sun. Made me feel like being in France where the style orginitated. And it’s not a bad example. Sweetish but lovely aroma. Golden colour, white head, good lace. Sweetish, malty, citrus and light hoppy. Hight drinkability, nice balance.
