It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Beer: Short's Snow Globe

Unlucky #13 in the beer advent calendar was another IPA.  It's the first American beer in the advent calendar from a state other than Illinois.  Short's Brewing is one of the many wonderful craft breweries in southwestern Michigan, and they make a lot of great beers.  Snow Globe is deemed a hazy double IPA, and I do tolerate hazy IPAs better than non-hazy IPAs.  Still, it's too hoppy for my tastes.
