Rogue's Dead Guy Ale

[Darrell]

I tried some Dead Guy Ale recently and this stuff is really delicious. It's really hoppy, but with a smooth taste. I usually don't like really hoppy beers, but this one is good. It has a nice color, smell, and taste. It's quite refreshing IMO. I have only paired it while smoking an El Centurian and it was good. I recommend this beer to anyone who wants to try something new, it's brewed in Oregon and can be found in Beverages and More. I'm not sure where else.

I know, it's funny to me also. The only IPA I found I liked was IPA Redhook. I do love some dead guy though.

Have you tried Arrogant Bastard? It's like ale concentrate.

Yes, I really like Rogue Ales.

They do a Juniper IPA and a Chipolte ale that are both extremely good and a little different. I have liked everything I've had that they've done.

I had a pint of this the other week and I really enjoyed it. I wouldn't mind having a 6 pack or 2 of this on hand.

I haven't had a bad beer from Rogue yet. They're distributed pretty well all the way out to the East Coast, so finding one shouldn't be too hard.

Anyone try their rum? I know they've got at least two different kinds (light and dark), but I haven't had either yet.

Go figure, I had this beer for the first time while camping this weekend. I've heard several good things about it, and I finally decided to bite the bullet and try some. It was great. Great flavor, and an amazingly smooth and clean finish to it. A+ in my book.

I live near one of their microbreweries (Issaquah Brewhouse) so I'm pretty much spoiled by having fresh Rogue brews available on tap. Good stuff.

I don't love Rogue's Ales in general, but their Vertical Epic 7-7-7 is awesome. Good luck holding on to this until December 2012! (for those who don't know, the Vertical Epic series was started a few years back and is designed to be aged until the final release on 12-12-12, when all the beers should be tasted)

I really enjoy a few Rogue's and dislike others. Dead Guy is in the middle for me.

It's really interesting to me to see the national perception of Rogue. In Oregon, where it is brewed, they are just not that big. Deshutes and Widmer crush them, Full Sail is ahead and many smaller breweries get much more tap room.

But, Rogue distributes nationally and seems to get good reviews.

I'd probabably drink it more here in FL if it wasn't so expensive. The better Oregon brews aren't available this far away and Rogue has some good ones. I prefer Brutal Bitter, Mocha Porter and the Chipotle (which I've only found one six pack).

Hmmm... I like dead guy, but I wouldn't call it very hoppy. It has almost like a wierd fruit taste to it. I do like it, but I can't have more than one or two pints of it at the pub.

Dead Guy was ok/lower end in taste for me. I picked up a case at Costco at heavy discount (~$10) when I was still in Cali. Took me a year to get through it.
