COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Dead Guy is a German-style Maibock made with Rogue’s proprietary "PacMan" ale yeast. It is deep honey in color with a malty aroma, rich hearty flavor and a well balanced finish. Dead Guy is created from Northwest Harrington, Klages, Maier Munich and Carastan malts, along with Perle and Saaz Hops.
In the early 1990s Dead Guy Ale was created as a private tap sticker to celebrate the Mayan Day of the Dead (November 1st, All Souls Day) for Casa U Betcha in Portland, Oregon. The Dead Guy design proved popular and was incorporated into a bottled product a few years later with MaierBock as the elixir.

Slight bitterness, but just enough... balanced with a nice, malty mix. This is my first heller bock. Fruity aroma. Definitley citrus... I detected pear? but my friends did not agree.

12 oz Bottle. Appearance is amber color with medium head. Aroma is light citrus with some notes of bread and caramel. Taste is light citrus, bread, and orange rind with a slight but noticeable Saaz hops giving it a crisp and dry bitterness. Palate is medium bodied with a somewhat dry finish.

Oops! Just downed a bottle of Dead Guy and didn’t bother taking notes since I was sure I had rated it before. Light and summery, lots of floral notes and sweetness, offset by a crisp and clean Saaz spice and bitterness. It’s good, okay?

Pours ruby brown with a nearly non-existent white head. Bits of yeast floating around. Nice malt action on the tongue. Not bad but nothing special.
