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.

Hoppy perfume aroma. Large frothy off white head. Hazy medium amber body. Bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied with a creamy texture. Not bad.

Bottled. Gold amber body with moderate white head. Aroma is apricot, honey, berries, caramel and toffee malt, and citric hops; very nice. Flavor is honey, bitter citrus, and sweet malts. Well balanced, moderately complex but not cloying. Finish is sweet and nicely bitter. Good session beer. Can’t wait to try the double.

Very decent brew. Great coppery amber color with a decent foamy head. Fairly smooth and quite drinkable with a good hop/malt balance and hint flavors of orange and honey. Finishes sharp. Will drink again.

Pretty good beer. Looks great in the glass, deep orange amber. Very good depth of flavor, starting with a lot of malt and citrus and then finishing on a hoppy hint of pine. Not the greatest Maibock but certainly worth a try.

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.
