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.

Yummy. Bottle to glass. Yellow to amber color. Bit hazy with not much head. Nice hoppy taste, with maltiness mixed in. I would seek a case of this...

Bottle. Poured a hazy amber color with a thin head. Aroma of sweet malt and piney hop. Smooth on the palate with light carbonation. You can taste the hops on and off with a caramel and grassy finish. This beer suprised me, it is better than it is rated to me.

Almost zero head. Marmalade color. Bouquet smells sweet like a cross between strawberries and cotton candy. Texture is crisp initially, and then warms up. Bitter. Citrus. This is a good beer, I enjoyed it!

Very light red / amber body with short lasting head. Faint caramel notes in the aroma, that was just sweet malts on first whiff, then some piney notes. Taste got better towards the end of the bottle, happens quite often, good body and good finish.

Bottle. always looked at this one and never tried it. glad i did. good nose of malts and pine trees. Amber copper color with a thin head that laces well. . . kind of sweetish, good pine and light grass notes. Hops seem to flow in and out of the palate. sometimes they are there, and sometimes not. Strange. A little fruit in there as well.. The spiciness of the Saaz hops shows through as it warms. leaves a funky metal bitter fruit aftertaste.Grapefruit I suppose.

Bomber. Shared this with a couple of people. Pours copper with light off-white head. Aroma is malt, grainy with some piney hops. Flavor is again heavy on malt with some grains and hops. Full bodied brew dominated by roasted malts. Nothing special.
