Reviewed from notes - had this beer while on vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Poured from a 12 oz can into a glass.

Appearance - Light brown - the first (and only) beer that I found in Puerto Vallarta that wasn't yellow! There's a very small head that dissipates into nothing shortly after the beer is poured.

Smell - There's a bit of malt and maybe a faint smell of toasted grains but that's about it.

Taste - While this beer has more oomph than the other beers I had in Mexico, it's quite tame. There's a slight malt character that comes across throughout each sip, but not much else.

Mouthfeel - Just like water.

Overall - This might be one of the best beers available if you're in Mexico. Visit for the cheap tequila, not the brew.

In Mexico my favorite daily drinker along with ice cold Modelo Especial. Just depends on mood.

Copper color with a thick head with medium retention.
Mild Aroma with notes of corn and malt sweetness. Faint hints of chocolate.
Flavor with predominant notes of caramels, corn adjunct and slightly toasted malts. Slow medium dry aftertaste with low bitterness.
Watery body with excessive carbonation.
Overly bland beer, I will pass. No point.

Despite Modelo having such a big network in the U.S., I never had Leon.
And I probably won't again. While malty, it was way too spritzy for me.
MJ's "Guide" gave Leon 2 of 4 stars and that seems fair when judged by the competition in Germany.

This is another dark beer I had in Mexico. This like dark modelo, is so much better than corona. This has some sweetness from dark malt, caramel and toffee notes too.
