Minhas brewing.... ahhhh yes..... let us begin so we can end quicker.
I smartly traded a 3yr cellared Rochefort 10 for this brew with a poor student (Todd) working at the climbing gym. I win that trade! Yeeehaaaaw!
Yellow gold with ample floaties from dish rags used in filtration system, ok white cap with endless large bubbles, Ah, the smell of sweet corn stuff, warm mushy apples, odd peaches.. maybe... and a couple of other things that seem quite awful but never offend which is surprising. MMMMMMMMMM yumtacular. Actually, this is quite drinkable - just as promised from my creditable alcoholic friend. Not overly sweet, a touch of tanginess in the mouth, grain and corn and more sweetness now, a slight spice that might just be my taste buds that assumed the worst and committed suicide. Watery but not overly as there is some flavour here. Leaves my mouth dry and papery. Would I drink more than one? Not on your life... unless it was given to me or I wanted a massive University hangover. Still, it’s dirt cheap and will get the job done better than a good handful of the other garbage swills. The can design screams high end.

Canada’s own (well actually Wisconsin’s) Duff Brewery. Single can purchase. Gold liquid with steady carbonation that cannot maintain more than a minimal head around the edge. Sweet corn lager aroma. Gotta drink cold. Slightly chilled and it is a mix of grainy corn and fusels with the fusel notes getting stronger with each sip.

Comes nowhere close to Brewhouse Great West Lager from Saskatoon which sells for a buck a can at Superstore if you buy six cases.Its the most excellent beer and well loved in Alberta...six bucks cheaper than in Saskatchewan.

Hahahaahahah 38 pack for 24 bucks how can you go wrong?? And why a 38 pack???? Looks like crap beer from a can, what ells can be said really. Smells metallic, corny, and sweet with some rotten malts luckily it fairly mild. Buttery mixed with random chemical taste, lots of wet grassy tasting malts, mild amounts of fake tasting hops but overall it carbonated butter. What a crap beer, my soul weeps for the next unfortunate person who drinks one.

I find myself continually comparing this beer to Canadian Lager, although Canadian has a more grainy taste and Boxer is more fruity and sweet. None of the nasty typical cheap beer side effects. When Canadian is around $2.00 a beer and Boxer can be found for less than $1.00 a can, well the choice is up to you. The crown on the logo really bugs me and I had to research it to see where this beer comes from; As long as it’s not coming from England I guess I can still buy it.

Decent tasting cheap beer. I am prolly one of the few that enjoy it. I need to pick up a few more cans.

Boxer is my shit. I fuckin drink that morning noon and night. It works in your car and nothing picks up a lady like telling them you got twelve fresh boxers in your fridge. And if you spill boxer on your carpet you can’t get the smell out and its beautiful. Furthermore the maker of boxer lager is a former graduate of the fine institution that I currently attend making it an alumni beer to the University of Calgary. I am currently pursuing sponsorship by Boxer Lager to start a boxer lager team at the UofC. If it wasn’t for this DAMN GOOD BEER I would not have lost my virginity.

710ml can. Light yellow with no remnants of head at all. Sweet, vegetal aroma. Sugary flavour with notes of grain and paper. Watery palate, fizzy. Cheaply made budget beer. I want my toonie back.

Available in supercans in Alberta, courtesy of Mountain Crest Importers. Another generic, below-average pale lager from this "craft brewer" who seems to have a toe in every provincial and state market in North America.
