Personally, I'd categorize it as boring.

As good a category as any. Maibocks can have a pretty hoppy character.

But I don't really see a need to categorize it. It's way too easy to get
carried away with this sort of thing, and the American beer geek's need to
do this strikes me as so much trainspotting.

RDG is widely enough known amongst geek circles that it's probably one of
those cases that it doesn't really need categorizing, anyway.
