Dead Guy Ale - Rogue Ales

4.13/5  rDev +4%
look: 3.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4

From notes on 04/08/12:
Bottle code: 250 A1 0729; Poured in a pint glass.

A - Less than an inch of off-white creamy head that disappears fairly quick; Dark orange hued amber in color; Cloudy appearance, but I can still see floating sediment; No traces of lacing at all

S - Pleasant notes of clove, esters, citrus, sweetness, caramel, herbs, light toast, and light spice

T - Lightly fruity taste with lemony/orange citrus flavors, as well as floral, herbal, minty, and butterscotch characteristics; Good malt backbone too with sweet caramel and toasty flavors, There's a bit of bitterness that brings some balance to the sweetness; Not really tasting any alcohol flavor

M - Moderate carbonation; Medium bodied; Fairly smooth behind the zest of the carbonation; Crisp with a lightly dry finish

O - I haven't had too many Rogue beers up to this point, but this one is probably my favorite thus far. It's smooth and very drinkable, with a pleasant, refreshing taste that makes me wish I had a few more of these to drink. The taste does an excellent job of having the malts, hops, sweetness, and bitterness all fit together beautifully. I can certainly see why this beer is available year-round as it would be easy to enjoy no matter the season.

22oz bomber into pint glass

A - a slightly cloudy dark orange/almost brown beer. only about an inch of head, which dissipates quickly. decent amount of lacing

S - bready/grainy malts, slight hops, and some yeast characteristics as well. not a lot going on in the smell

T - malt forward but a nice kick from the hops (citrus i think), which wasnt there in the smell. dried fruits permeate throughout, finishes very smooth

M - Medium bodied which is surprising given the booze content. well carbonated

Overall - A very nice offering from Rogue, not surprising this is their pride and joy and most heavily distributed. smooth drinking, good flavors. only complaint is from the nose, which is a minor complaint
