Can purchased at Swan Dive in Rochester, NY.

This one pours a very hazy golden yellow, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like orange and melony hops, hop sweetness, and some a touch of floral bitterness.

This is definitely on the sweeter side, but it's still tasty to me. It's quite mango-y and sweet, with a touch of bitterness, and some melon and grapefruitiness. It's got a very juicy and creamy finish.

This is very drinkable, even with the sweetness, with very creamy and rich full body.

This is definitely one of the better beers I've had from Mikkeller NYC.

Thanks to whomever sent me this 16 oz. can. Split with my wife while watching Mark Watney.

The pour looks like pissed on snow, though it smells better. Actually, I wouldn’t know that. Strong tropical fruits in the nose .Yes, I could be more generic.

Lead a Horse to Beer suffers from the worst kind of NE IPA disease: it’s sickeningly sweet. Even at eight ounces, I’m going to struggle to finish this. It’s a sugary bomb. Sugar, sugar, sugar, & underneath that there’s sugar-soaked melon & sweet oranges.

Not sure what happened here, but the overbearing sweetness is appalling. Bad.
