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.

THIS BEER LOOKS LIKE HONEY STRAIGHT UP WITH NO HEAD AND LITTLE AROMA. IT TASTES MILDLY LIKE TOASTY HOPS THAT LACE THE MOUTH WELL. EVERYBODY WHO SAYS IT HAS A FRUITY FLAVOR ARE MISTAKEN, IT HAS A HINT OF SWEETNESS BUT NO FRUITNESS. STRAIGHT UP HOPS AND MALT AND VERY DELICIOUS, GREAT PACKAGING TOO. GETS AN A GRADE IN MY BOOK.

Pours a clear amber color with a thin white head. Smells of sweet malts, toffee, and light hops. Tastes hoppy with sweet malts, fruits, toffee, brown sugar, caramel, and some citrus and pine from the hops. Bitter finish.

I like it. I don’t get the "medium body" that others pick up, as it seems kind of thin to me. But it definitely delivers the hops, toasty caramel, and has a nicely balanced sweetness. Not overly sweet, but it works -- and I don’t usually go for sweet beers. Not a fantastic price, but it was nice to try it on tap at the Zephy Pub in kent, Ohio.

Good very sessionable beer. Medium bodied, slightly sweet, very easy to drink despite moderately high alcohol content. Overall good beer. Caramel notes.

dead guy ale is alright, alright by the pricing wasn’t really worth the whole deal of it. the taste is alright, and same with the effect. a little overpriced though but it is a microbrew.

White Crane bitter pours a clear amber color with a light tan head. Malty aromas of toasted caramel and pale malts. Smooth medium body. Very good toasted caramel flavor with some spicy pacman yeast and hops.. Nice hot weather brew.

12 oz bottle. Pours a very cloudy light amber copper with yellow hightlights. Head is soft white and small. Smells of brown sugar, toffee, and sweet malt. Tastes of burnt sugar, roasted malts, sweet corn, some piney and citrus hops. Aftertaste is slightly fermented friuts. Body is nice and sticky sweet, almost syrupy, and carbonation is very good. Some lacing.
