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.

Very good, well balanced beer. Very malty flavor with a nice balance of hops. feels nice on the palate, and has a pleasant after taste. Nice gold/orange color, smell is nicely balanced hops/malt.

I’ve never understood why this is the most popular (by far) of all the beers that Rogue has to offer. You can’t go to a bar or store in this state without seeing the damn thing, and it’s not that good! Way too malty in the front end and a somewhat hoppy middle with a disappointing finish. So horribly overrated.

Overall, enjoyable... refreshing. Pours a light amber with a short-lived off-white head. Flavor is not too malty with a bright hop finish. Citrus, honey. Alcohol can stand out a little bit towards the end.

Pours golden brown with a nice off white head. The aroma is hoppy and crisp. Taste is smooth and malty with a nice citrusy hop finish as well. Good stuff.

Bottle. Pours orange amber with an aromatic white head: holds pine, orange, faint caramel. Nice mouthfeel. I taste orange in the hops with caramel malt, toffee and a slightly bitter finish: light for American style hopping. I would not have guessed ’bock’ from a blind taste test.

From bottle. Part of October Dayton beertasting event. Pours golden Aroma is citrusy with malt notes. Tastes include honey and good blend of hops and malt.

Appears cloud, copper in color with a thick, white head that stays around for a while. Smells of sweet malt. Nice lacing. Crisp, slight burning mouthfeel. Bitterness in the finished is chased away by the highish alcohol content.
