Belgian Golden Ale is defined by elegant contradiction — light in color, formidable in strength, and endlessly drinkable despite its power. Devil in Disguise captures the character of this celebrated style in a compact 1-gallon format.

Innocently pale with a light, airy body. Devilishly strong at 8.8% ABV.

Pilsen dry malt extract provides a brilliantly pale, clean base. Munich malt and aromatic malt add soft malt depth without adding color or weight. Dextrose drives the ABV to 8.8% using the authentic Belgian technique of boosting alcohol without darkening the beer. Styrian Goldings deliver earthy, herbal bitterness across two additions, Saaz adds delicate spicy and floral character at the finish, and Belgian ale yeast ties everything together with expressive fruity esters and full attenuation.
