Beer # 4 Boxer Lager

For the fourth entry to my blog we have a strangle mingling of Canada and the US (Talk about free trade!). Today's offering is Boxer Lager by Mountain Crest Beers of Calgary Alberta however the beer itself is brewed by  Minhas Craft Brewery in Monroe WI. www.boxerlager.com

Colour is unimpressive.

Yeasty plain nose with a little citrus. American style lager that is too sweet. A little tinny with hints of lemon pledge. Really disapointing. Did I mention I wasn't a fan of beer in cans?

Truly sad considering a joint project between Americans and Canadians could bring hamony and perhaps an end to that whole "our beer is better than you beer argument." However, there really is no redeeming feature to this beer. An eighteen year old kid could whip something up in the garage from a kit that would be more interesting.

Taste: Fail
Cost: Pass ($1.65 per 500ml Can)
Colour: Fail(the golden hue almost has a brown tinge)
Beer Style: Fail (too sweet)
Re-order: Fail
Experience: Fail


So much for U.S. Canada relations.
