Boxer Lager

Boxer Lager is from the Minhas Craft Brewery in Monroe, Wisconsin. It is 5.0% ABV. I got this 24 oz. can in Laporte, Indiana for 99 cents.

The beer pours a dark golden in color. There is about an inch of white head, not long lasting. The aroma is cooked grain, tangy. The taste is like a cereal mush with apples sliced into it that was left to ferment. The finish is dry with very, very light bitterness. There is a somewhat of a chemical aftertaste. The beer drinks easy, well carbonated. As you proceed through, some of the off notes moderate, but this is not very good (and not as “good” as I remember it being when I tried it several years ago).


I liked it better back in 2011, when I had picked some up in Owatonna, Minnesota: This 5.0% ABV beer pours golden in color with a slight head.  The aroma is light, slightly sweet, slightly tart and lightly fruity.  The taste is very light grain, slightly sweet and tart, with a bit of a hop bite on the finish.  This was less than $17 for 36 cans.  It is not as good as the various Pabst owned lagers, but it is strong for its price range, and very drinkable.
