The Lost Abbey (Port Brewing) | Avant Garde | Bière De Garde Was racing the rain to get the photo in. And to photograph our leaky roof. The contractor wanted to know how many pipes we had that needed tarring, as well as the slope of the roof. “It’s steep,” I told him. “Could be as much a 25, 30 degrees.” There was a pause on the other end of the line. “That is steep,” he said. He hasn’t called back since I e-mailed him the photo. I poured the Avant Garde into a wine glass that has a tulip-ish shape, as you can see. Persistent head, very little lacing. I would call it a yeasty, floral, grassy aroma. Flavor was crisp and refreshing, hoppy and highly carbonated. I liked that the aroma did not quit. There was a bitter finish, but it was sweet on the tongue. Substantial mouthfeel. Good stuff. 8/4/8/4/17 = 4.1.
