Three Floyd's Jinx Proof has a very interesting backstory. It may be the only beer to be brewed in collaboration with a tattoo studio - it was created to celebrate Jinx Proof Tattoo Studio's 13th anniversary.
Jinx Proof is described as a "refreshing continental-style pils [that] has a light body combined with a pronounced noble hop aroma and a crisp dry finish". (from the 3 Floyds Blog)
Unfortunately, it is now impossible to find another bottle of Jinx Proof for three reasons: It was only released as a seasonal bomber (22 oz bottle), only sold in June, and only sold at the Three Floyds Brewpub in Munster, Indiana. Hopefully there will be more next June, but it is very doubtful.
Jinx Proof
Brewery: Three Floyds
Country: USA (Indiana)
Style: Dortmunder / Export Lager
ABV: 5.1%
IBUs: 35
Serving Type: 22oz Bottle
Cost: N/A
Appearance: Unfiltered. Bright amber color with mild carbonation. Not a lot of head, maybe a half finger tops. Left a small amount of lacing.
Aroma: Smelled a lot like cereal grains and floral hops.
Taste: Jinx Proof had a very malty bread taste to it. I did also notice a slight hoppiness, but it wasn't as strong as I expected from a Three Floyds beer. The aftertaste had very little bitterness, making this beer smooth and refreshing.
Drinkability: Very smooth, refreshing, and easy to drink - perfect on a warm day.
Verdict: A very good lager! I'm usually more partial to ales over lagers, but this one would be a repeat - that is, if it is ever sold again.
