What about the beer?

Colour is hazy copper brown with a thin whiteish head. Aroma has sour and sweet fruits like orange, plum, and raisins, yeasty aroma and a hint of sweet berries. Taste begins with fruits, gentle hops and yeast. Sour sweetish citrus-peachy firework fills the mouth, joined by yeast, sweet spice and caramel flavours. Towards the end sourness, yeast and soft alcohol step in front. Aftertaste has alcohol warmth and dry fruity bitterness.

After a little bit slow start, this beer's motor really gets going - despite the name. Very complex and delicious fruity Quadruple with nearly perfect symphony of sweet, sour & bitter parts. A true masterpiece from the Canadians - worth every cent.

Ölbeat

The band actually had their first hit with a song called Rigor Mortis, so the far-fetched connection in the theme is there. Since the brew is actually far from being dead stiff, so I'll pick a piece that has life, heartbeat and fireworks like the beer does.

Cameo: Word Up! (YouTube)

From the 1986 album Word Up!, the song was written by Larry Blackmon and Tomi Jenkins.
