Description: One of Grupo Modelo's oldest brands, León® beer was first sold at the beginning of the last century.


Sold mainly in southeastern Mexico, León® is a Munich style beer, dark with a full bouquet and body.


In November 1999, its new image was introduced to the market.


Is currently produced at the Cía. Cervecera del Trópico. Although, the brand's main market is the Mexican Southeast, it is also found in other parts of the country, especially in restaurants featuring the cuisine of Yucatán.

Pros: very refreshing with a clean taste
Cons: Gets hot fast

I like this beer alot as an option to XX or Montejo..This beer is full body with no big after taste.I think it is a very under rated beer and I find myself drinking it more often these days!

Pros: smooth taste when cold
Cons: totally different taste when served luke warm

If it was a little bolder it would be a keeper in my book.

Pros: It's beer.
Cons: served a little warmer than I like

For some reason I didn't like this beer as much as some most of the others reviewed here. Maybe it was because it was not quite as chilled as I would have liked. I can't give it a bad rating, its beer. Next time I will be sure it is good a cold.

Pros: Good Taste
Cons: Bottle Deposit

This was our beer of choice last time; we do not like lagers, we like ales (hoppier the better for me) and this is a good tasting beer. We piled the empty bottles in the six pack and put them next to the trash for folks to pick up and return. Sometimes we were charged a deposit and sometimes we weren't...all at Chedraui.

Pros: clean taste, not too heavy
Cons: none

this was by far my favorite, drank many, never that too full feeling, always room for more salsa and chips....


i also liked it's refreshing taste, i need something lite in the sun....
