Review - Magic Hat Brewing Company's Jinx
"Earthy, rich and steeped in autumn's magic: it's an ale of change. This potent infusion is haunted by memories of summer and the first frost on abandoned fields. Jinx prepares the bones for snow. It has the glint of golden maples at peak and finishes light as an ode to the fading sun. A bit of peat-smoked malt imparts a subtle hint of smoke that reminds us of fall's bonfires. Available in the Fall." -- Magic Hat
Jinx pours a light black color with an average, creamy light-brown head. Almost no lacing, coupled with a fully diminishing head contribute to a less than stellar appearance. Aroma is of light grain malts with chocolate notes and alcohol. Initial taste is moderately sweet, backing off to a light sweet finish with an average duration. Light body, dry texture, and lively carbonation make this a drinkable ale.
