Dead Guy Ale is brewed in the style known as maibock. See the following link for an explanation of the bock and maibock styles:

Dead Guy Ale pours a coppery-amber color with a frothy white head. My first impression of the taste is that it reminds me of some of the better Belgian ales. There's a hint of pineapple and a bit of caramel. It's fairly hoppy at 40 IBUs, which is about what you'd expect for this style. Since it's somewhat springlike out today, I find it appropriate to be sampling a bock, a style that's typically associated with Spring. It's not overly complex and there's not a lot going on beneath the surface, but it's a good choice if you like hoppy brews, but not so hoppy that it takes the enamel off your teeth.
