"Im currenty in Puerto Vallarta Mx and found 2 beers I've never had before, both dark offerings. One is this one and the other Bohemia Obscura. I'll try to add areview of both but long storey short the Dark Bohemia is a much better beer. But as to this one, this is a lager which is fairly similar to many generic offerings from Mx, that is the aroma is of grain and adjuncts, no significant roasted malt and very little hops on the nose. The taste is actually better with a slight malty sweetness and very dry finish with slight hops bitterness. The flavor doesn't improve with warmer temp tho and should be drunk quite cold. The appearance is quite nice, light browm, and the mouthfeel much better than average Mx lager. I would pick this over most Mx beers but its not the top choice."

"Looks dark, but tastes like a lager.When the weather hot and the Leon is icy cold, it is hard to not drink the whole thing down. Hard to find outside of the Yucatan Peninsula. I lived there for 5 years and Leon is about all I drank. Of course my choices were usually Corona (tasteless) or Sol (Corona with salt added). Thank God for Leon. Get it while you can though, because it is dying out in the Yucatan too. The locals don't like it much, and they closed the Merida brewery. It is now only brewed in Villahermosa, Tabasco."

"A nice dark beer without the heaviness. Tastes even better ice cold. It's the first beer I ask for when ordering in Mexico. I wish it was available here in the states."

"one of the best mexican dark beers, not so heavy and great for drink large quantities,i´m an amatuer but I really liked, better if it is very cold. Great taste, forget coronas and pacificos if you come to Mexico is a must to drink it. Now you almost find it in all cities in Mexico"
