Single finger head with nice lacing on a murky Copper body. Aroma is very light with mostly sweet caramel, toasted malts and earthy hops. Flavor is very full for the style and thankfully not sour like so many of these are to me with toasted malts, spices, citrus tartness and earthy hops which are slightly metallic in te finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Nice flavor, fairly drinkable and doesn't have some of the qualities of so many octoberfest beers out there which I dislike.

Served in a shaker pint glass at SmallBar - Division.

According to Google Translate, this beer's name means "remember the death", though it seems to really mean "remember death", as in "remember your mortality". Kinda ominous, right? This stuff pours a clear sunset amber topped by two fingers of cream-white foam. The nose comprises grass, vague green apple, and light biscuit. The taste holds notes of grass, light biscuit, a strong sense of metal in the background, and some toasted toffee in the finish. Gotta tell ya, that metallic quality ain't doing this beer any favors... The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a lightly creamy feel. Overall, a generally okay O-Fest, but the metallic twinge is a big negative. Beyond that, it's a decent American O-Fest.
