Devil in Disguise Belgian Golden Ale Beer Recipe Kit

Brew a brilliantly golden, deceptively strong Belgian ale with the Devil in Disguise Beer Recipe Kit — a 1-gallon ingredient-only refill inspired by the legendary Belgian Golden Ale tradition. Innocently pale with a light, airy body. Devilishly strong at 8.8% ABV.

This recipe kit is ideal for homebrewers who already have equipment and want to explore a refined, complex Belgian style that drinks far smoother than it has any right to. Its elegant grain bill, multi-addition hop schedule, and dextrose boosted ABV make it one of the most rewarding small-batch recipes in the Craft a Brew lineup.

The secret to this beer's strength is dextrose — the same authentic Belgian technique used to build alcohol without adding color or body. Pilsen dry malt extract provides a clean, brilliantly pale base. Munich malt and aromatic malt add soft malt depth without darkening the color. Styrian Goldings deliver earthy, herbal, and mildly spicy bitterness across two additions, Saaz adds delicate floral and herbal character at the finish, and Belgian ale yeast contributes classic fruity esters and a fully attenuated, dry finish.

We recommend serving in a tulip glass — the shape designed to retain this style's rich, dense head while concentrating the spicy, floral hop character and fruity esters exactly where you want them.

This kit includes all ingredients needed to brew 1 gallon of beer; brewing equipment is not included. The finished beer is typically ready to drink in about six weeks.

Crafted with quality ingredients and thoughtfully developed recipes, Craft a Brew beer kits are widely used by homebrewers seeking dependable fermentation performance and authentic Belgian-style results.
