COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
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.

Smoked? Not what I had. Vaguely hazy copper. Sweet, vaguely spicy nose with something unpleasant there. Starts very sweet, then gets quite bitter. First swallow gives hints that it is going to be a tripel, but instead of spice it’s really bitter.

hopfen28 (5) - USA - SEP 26, 2003 does not count

I just don't understand the people who are able to note small differences in Magic Hat(or most of America's "microbews".) This is heavy, malty and sweet, just like number 9, blind faith, Sam Adams, Long Trail, Smuttynose and all the rest. I'd rather have foreign beers prepare my bones for snow.

Smoked? If this beer IS intended for this category, then these numbers reflect it's rating in a smoked beer category. No smoke aroma - only a very mild frutiness. Very little to no hop flavors. Bland and boring. Very disapointing for a Magic Hat.
