It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Beer: Half Acre Tend

Unfortunately, there are some IPAs in every beer advent calendar, and I endured one today.  According to the can, Tend from local stalwart Half Acre is deemed a "Winter India Pale Ale."  I don't know what that means, but it was still hoppy, so I wasn't a big fan.
