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 ornage color, white head. Sweet malty and fruity hoppy scent. Roasted, dry, malty, harsh, alcohol taste. Medium to smooth mouthfeel, with a grape peel dry finish. Dry medium high bitterness. Coconut aftertaste.

lands on a great part of the toungue, but doesn’t stick aorund it too long. Fizzy, crisp, refreshing, like and orange flavored belgian witbier- a little sweeter. Thanks Beershine and Oakes.

Bottle (75 cl) from Ölbutikken. Shady deep golden to amber, meidum white head. Earthy and fruity malt aroma, with notes of oranges, apricots and yeast. Medium bodied and soft carbonation. Well balanced with a mellow start and a dry finish with moderate bitterness. The best Biere de Garde I´ve had.

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.
