My Month of Flagships: RogueAles Dead Guy Ale -- The craft beer industry's only flagship 'maibock-style ale'? craftbeer beertwitter FlagshipFebruary
We’ve seen some eclectic, unusual choices of brewery flagship throughout the course of this series, but I’ve always thought that Oregon’s Rogue Ales must take the cake in this regard. There are so many unusual aspects to their flagship Dead Guy Ale that every time I consider it, I’m amazed that this beer could somehow have become the thing that built the company.

Rogue takes the oddness a step further here by brewing this beer with ale yeast, effectively making it a “maibock-style ale.” And if there’s another brewery in the U.S. with a flagship likeIt’s a case where I can’t help but think that branding, naming and labeling probably played a part in cementing this beer as Rogue’s most popular and iconic offering.
On the nose, this one initially presents as malty sweet, with a distinctly yeasty-bready note—less baked bread, and more doughy in nature. There’s also some spice and fruit elements, with notes of clove, and a fruitiness that make me think of pears.
