BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 From Beers and Ears. I actually tried this the other night locally and it was "hoppier" than I care for, but not bad. Rogue Dead Guy AleMay 21st, 2012 by Scott In Walt Disney World Beer ReviewsOregon is ranked fourth nationally in craft breweries per capita and is a state known for beer-friendly laws. It’s no surprise, then, that many great craft breweries have been founded there. Among them is Rogue Ales, which started as a brewpub in Ashland, OR and has since expanded to a number of brewpubs in Oregon, Washington and California.One of their most popular brews is Dead Guy Ale. It was originally brewed for the Mayan Day of the Dead celebration for an Oregon establishment called Casa U Betcha. The popularity exploded and the German maibock style beer has won 26 awards.Poured from a 22 oz bottle into a pilsner glass, the brew is a clear reddish-orange with a nice thick white head. Clean grain and malt fill the nose. Lots of flavors here; some sweet honey and fruit flavors up front, which then turns into roasted barley and grassy flavors along with a bit of a hop bitterness. The carbonation is fairly mild but pleasing and the finish is fairly dry. This is a quite enjoyable beer and one I could drink plenty of.Katie was at Todd English’s bluezoo over the weekend and thanks to her bluezoo has been added to our Walt Disney World Beer List and iOS app. It just so happens that Dead Guy Ale is one of the beers featured there. In addition, Dead Guy Ale can be found at Raglan Road. Rogue is also distributed to most states in the United States as well as some of Canada, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to get your hands on some Dead Guy Ale, which I highly recommend you do.http://beersandears.net/2012/05/rogue-dead-guy-ale-2/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MetalDad 33 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I recently tried the Double Dead Guy Ale, like Genia said, it was nice but pricey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
