Bottle (from koht, says "Avant Garde Farmhouse Lager" on the label). Pours hazy golden with whiteish head. Aroma is phenolic, fruits, grains, malt, huskiness. Flavor is sweet and bitter, caramel, grains, noble hops, fruits, malt, slight cardboard even. Finish is dry and sugary with booze. Carbonation is quite fizzy. Overall: drinkablish ESL, more fruity in the nose, but no way this is biere de garde. This should come in 2L PET bottles. --- Beer merged from original tick of Avant Garde on 28 Apr 2018 at 22:46.

Corked bottle, 0.75l, shared with friends. Aroma of bread, yeast, spices and green apples. Pours murky dark amber color with rocky off-white head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts with moderate sweet bready malt and honey, follows by yeast, ripe peaches and apples, mouthfeel is spicy, while finish is mild bitter. Medium body, creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. A bit less than expected, but for sure still good...

Optisch pfirsichfarben, passt gut tun Farmhouse. Ebenso die Nase, reife Wiesensommerfrüchte, Pfirsich. Im Trunk süßlich, süffig, merklich aber auch alkoholisch. Mittig wird’s dann sehr aromatisch, Fruchtkorb, Äpfel, Birnen, Trauben, alles zusammen mit einer feinen Malznote. Schön komponiert - leider nimmt der Alkohol etwas von der Drinkability.

From Nov 2007

This pours from 750ml caged and corked bottle a cloudy orange amber with a 2finger head of foam. Lots of nice sticky lacing.

The smell has a ton of fruity notes to it. Apricot, plum, citrus...and there's some candy sugar there as well as some funk. Love it.

The taste is a nice mix of the fruit along with healthy portions of funk and candy sugar and yeast. There's a nice bitter bite near and right through the finish. It has a medium mouthfeel and it's lightly carbonated. More sips in and I get some earthiness along with some bready flavour. Tasty. The funk is really hitting my taste buds in a positive way and I can't help but take more sips. The alcohol is hidden well and helps make for some very good drinkability. Man, that aftertaste really is bitter! it kind of over powers all of the other flavours I enjoyed. Still, I like this beer and I can recommend it.

Purchased from Southbay Drugs and Liquors. Thanks, Joey!

Flaska hos mig, tack! Orangegrumlig med lågt vitt skum. Doft och smak av honung och jäst med stor maltsötma och kryddiga inslag. Liten värme från alkoholen, trots att den är relativt låg. Något större kropp och ganska maffig överlag. Vill placera den som något mellanting mellan en saison och en trippel. Gott och fylligt!

Keg at Brewdog Shepherds Bush, London. An orange coloured pour with a healthy white head on top. Fruity, yeasty, peach, spice aroma. Tastes quite similar, fruity, yeasty, peach, spice. It is fine but expected much more from Lost Abbey.

Bottle. Honey yellow. Moderate white head. Nice belgian yeast on nose. Additional malts. Light body. The flavour is simpler. Blond-like. Very smooth. Good.

Tons of malt flavor for a farmhouse, but this is a lager not an ale! Unique! Fruity nose. Hints of bread and apple.
