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

Thick dark gold with nice white head that leaves minor lacing. Spice, citrus and some sweet malt. Flavor was a little of orange with a touch of honey. Towards the finish, nice little bite of hops that sticks with you. Nice clean finish.

pours into a snifter a clear orange with a medium sized bubbly off-white head, excellent lacing.
smell of pear, apricot, some spice, slight citrus, malt.
taste is grain, citrus, sweet fruit, slight tart in the back, spice, some toffee, slight bitter in the end, with a dry finish.
goes well with cheese and crackers.

Bottle courtesy Ibrew2or3. Pours a clear golden with a large white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma has tons of sweet malt, slightly spicy yeast, and is slightly earthy. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium full mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness. Very good.
