How would you categorize this Rogue Dead Guy ale? It's a good beer, although
I wish it were a bit more hoppy (but maybe that's because I usually drink
IPA).
BA puts it in the Maibock category.

I'd categorize it as an American pale ale. I like the fact that it leads with
malt rather than hops. I can see putting it into another style category so that
drinkers will not be surprised that it doesn't taste like Sierra Nevada Pale
Ale, for example. Assuming Dead Guy is top fermented, I think it's wrong to call
it a maibock, even if it gives the drinker a closer expectation of its taste.I
would rather see it called an American Blonde Ale.
