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.

sample from bottle... a bit of spice and sweet malts on the nose... deep copper pour with an off white head... nice appearance... medium body with some caramel malts, nice and soft, some caramel over the top, sweet sugar on the sides... crisp finish with some honey and a biting smooth bitterness. really nice beer - surprised it took me so long to buy this one.

Superb beer. Pours orange with a small, off-white head. Not a whole lot to offer on the nose, with a bit of malt sweetness and a touch of aromatic hops. On the tongue it has a delicious malt sweetness, with caramel and toffee leading to a nice hoppy, bitter finish. The highlight of this beer is the hedonistic mouth-feel. It is beautifully creamy - spot-on carbonation. Very well balanced. Rogue’s best beer?

imaragingbull (302) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - APR 3, 2010
12oz Bottle into Tumbler. 6.6%ABV. Pours deep orange/amber with a medium, tan head. Sweet malt aroma with subtle floral hoppy notes. Medium body with nice malt backbone overlying a well balanced hop bitterness and flavour. Slick-dry finish. Definitely a lovely beer to be savoured in quantities exceeding 12oz.

Small white head. Great lacing. Not a lot of aroma. Malty with moderate to high bitterness. Well balanced beer.

ruskiimperial (307) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - MAR 22, 2010
This beer, aliased as ’white crane bitter,’ poured a light hazy orange with almost no foam. The aroma had a hint of white pear and candy apple. Taste had a mixture of candy apple with a medium amount of citrus-like bitterness on the aftertaste. The citrus and the carbonation makes this a bit harsh on the palate.

Pyobon (518) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - MAR 21, 2010
Draught. Hazy amber with no head. Little, but pleasant, aroma. Medium body, light carbonation, nice mouthfeel. Unusual flavour Nice complex balanced foretaste with fruity, floral malty notes and a hint of chocolate, with a fair bitter finish. Overall, different and pleasant..

Onslow (639) - Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA - MAR 21, 2010
best brew I’ve tried in some time... Orange-amber pour from a 12 oz bottle. Aroma of mild malts, citrus, and light aromatic hops. Excceptionally well balanced flavor with solid maltiness that is just short of sweet and well balanced hops in the finish. Clean finish with and excellent and complex finish. Great stuff.
