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

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.

From tap at the brewery. Pours cloudy golden orange with a creamy off-white head. Mild milky and caramel malty aroma. Flavour is mild spiced and smooth caramel malty. Light bitterness lurking through. Ends light spiced and lingering caramel malty. Tasty and refreshing.

[1335-20080508] Bottle. Woodsy malt aroma has a light fruit background. Hazy, medium orange body with a medium-lasting creamy white foam. Flavour is a little boozy but mostly generic yeast and grains. Medium body. Good to try.

Fairly average ale. It surprisingly doesn’t have any taste when first sipped, only during the swallow does it show its head. Very weird. But the flavor does come, its lighly bready and sweet, like a loaf of sugary beer bread. A nice ale that is soft and easily quaffable.
