Ophiussa - Genesis

A Galactic Fruit Experience from Portugal

Ready for a flavor journey of a special kind? The Portuguese brewery Ophiussa brings us a true gem with their Genesis, a masterclass in the Milkshake IPA style. If you are into creamy textures and a serious dose of fruit, you have come to the right place. This beer is no ordinary IPA; it is a liquid revelation for those who love it velvety and intense.

Boasting a solid 8% ABV, Genesis plays in the top league of Double Milkshake IPAs. This style is traditionally characterized by the addition of lactose (milk sugar), giving the beer an irresistible residual sweetness and an extremely smooth mouthfeel. It feels almost like sipping a hop smoothie, but with that extra bit of punch.

In the glass, you can expect a hazy appearance typical of this modern beer style. Taste-wise, look forward to an explosion of tropical aromas that harmonize perfectly with the creamy base. The hop bitterness stays elegantly in the background to let the full-bodied texture and fruity dominance take center stage. It is the perfect balance between sweetness and hop character.

Pair this liquid gold with spicy dishes for the best experience. A spicy Thai curry or a juicy burger with blue cheese creates a brilliant contrast to the beer's sweetness. If you prefer things sweet: Genesis also works excellently as a companion to a fruity dessert or simply enjoyed solo as a "liquid treat."

Why Ophiussa Genesis is the right choice for you:

• Creamy Mouthfeel: Thanks to the lactose, this Milkshake IPA is incredibly soft and smooth.
• Fruit Bomb: Intense tropical notes meet a pleasant residual sweetness.
• Powerful: At 8% ABV, it is an intense treat for special moments.
• Portuguese Craft Beer: Discover one of the most exciting breweries in Southern Europe.
