A beer that could, in the vaguest sense, be considered a Belgian-style “Singel.” More than simply a low-alcohol table beer, however, L’amour du Jour brings a very rare finesse to the realm of the biere de table . Lovingly crafted of the finest FrancoBelgian pale malts and gently hopped with Saaz, it is finished with fragrant contributions of lavender, sweet orange, and jasmine flowers. At once unusual and yet very drinkable, L’amour du Jour offers a bright and crisp malty palate, followed by a balanced fruity finish with a lingering perfumed scent. Sound like CBC’s first ever “chick beer"? Perhaps, but any male secure enough in his masculinity will certainly impress with his ability to appreciate this flavorful, delicate, artisanal ale. À votre santé !

Light golden ale with a thin white head. Rosewater aroma. Same rosewater in mouth, no malt, no body, rather floral, but not my cup of tea. On tap at BCTC 2006.

On draught, 4/23/05 at the brewpub. Listed as an abbey-single, this was served in a flute. Pale-orange, light copper-yellow color, mostly clear with a small light yellow-tinged white head that is initially small and recedes to a ring. Aroma of grass, light pepper, thyme, mint. Smells like hallertau, but they say it’s saaz. Just more of a grassy, herbal nature, not quite as floral, though there are some strong notes of lavender. Flavor is much like the Saison du CBC, maybe a modified recipe? Take out the rye and you’ve got a honey sweet, herbal and yeasty concoction with a light, not watery, creamy body, full of flower oils, a touch of bitter hops and some light white pepper on the end. Medium-light body, gentle but evident carbonation. Glad there’s no rye in this, that’s for sure.
