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

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.

Wonderful, caramel aroma with toffee notes. A little cloudy, with a light-brown hue. Flavor is sweet on the palate, with sugary honey notes. Overall, an enjoyable beer.

Golden brown beneath a small white head. Aroma of biscuit-like malts with some citrus (lemon) undertones. Dusty yeast flavors accompanied by a light herbal hoppiness. Lively carbonation. Very drinkable. Thanks for sharing rudy.

Dark bronze with a small white head that is mostly diminishing. Wheaty grain nose with faint lemon/orange zest. Vanilla cookie malt flavor up front with white pepper, muddy yeasts, and fresh cut hay. Earthy, mildly alcoholic finish. In a nutshell: yeasty, grainy, unexciting.

On tap at LA, 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. This one is pretty well made though and is even and consistent. If you’re into biere de garde style, give it a shot. dig it it’s pretty decent!
