Diversion craft beer 75 cl: Célestin’s take on the Session IPA

Diversion Session IPA 75 cl is a craft beer brewed by Célestin – La Micro-Brasserie du Vieux-Lille, a brewery based in the heart of Lille. This beer belongs to the Session IPA family, a style prized for offering an expressive, hoppy beer whilst maintaining a moderate alcohol content.

With an alcohol content of 3.4% vol., Diversion focuses above all on freshness and ease of drinking. This low alcohol content makes it particularly thirst-quenching, whilst retaining a distinct aromatic character. The brewery describes it as a light, thirst-quenching and flavourful beer, whose character is largely based on the generous use of aromatic hops.

Both on the nose and on the palate, Diversion develops a fruity and floral profile. Notes of grapefruit and peach provide an immediately recognisable fruity character, whilst floral nuances round the flavour off. The hops remain very prominent on the palate and provide a distinct bitterness that adds depth to this light beer.

This combination of low alcohol content, freshness and hoppy character makes Diversion a particularly appealing choice for IPA enthusiasts seeking a lighter option. It allows you to enjoy the aromatic pleasure of hops without the alcoholic strength of a classic IPA or a Double IPA.

The quality of this craft beer was recognised at the France Bière Challenge 2023, where Diversion won a silver medal in the Session IPA category.

The 75 cl bottle is ideal for sharing this northern beer as an aperitif or with a meal. Its fruity, floral and bitter profile pairs particularly well with seafood – a pairing recommended by the brewery – but also with grilled fish, salads, mildly spiced dishes or Asian cuisine.

Served well chilled, Diversion Session IPA fully expresses its refreshing character. It is an excellent beer to serve on sunny days, particularly for craft beer enthusiasts who appreciate hops but are looking for a light drinking experience.

With its fruity character, lovely bitterness and 3.4% ABV, the 75 cl Diversion is an accessible and thirst-quenching take on the Session IPA, born directly from the brewing expertise of the Micro-Brasserie du Vieux-Lille.
