Leon Negra

Brewed by Grupo Modelo (Corona)
Style: Vienna
México DF, Mexico

I had this out of a can from a sampler pack somebody brought back from a Walmart in Chihuahua. Caramel color with a cream colored lasting head. Thin grain nose with some caramel sweetness. The thin sweetness carries through to the flavor with light caramel, malt syrup and faint burnt sugar. Really just uninteresting, but at least it wasn’t another light lager.

Bottle. Had this on the beach in Playa Del Carmen, did not enjoy. It is rumored that this is the same beer as Negra Modelo, but the one I had wasn’t even close. Perhaps it was a touch too warm, or not stored properly, who cares, this was awful.

Nice amber colour with a small head. Aroma of some toffee and malt.Flavour is sweet and malty, slight touch of some chocolate. Dry bitter bit sweet finish.

Can’t really tell the diffrence in taste between this, corona and tropical. However, tastes less watery than the other beers which hurts its chugability.

a nice munich style beer, or at least a nice try, and it is a beer less refreshing than others but with a sweet and strong flavor, with a little touch od chocolate flavors and coffee. the only think that dislike from this beer is the aftertaste that it has

Very much like Negra Modelo.. but lighter in taste and body, more acrid and metalic hints. Leather and corn finish. Does not taste like it looks.

One of the Mexican beers I enjoyed most, probably because it was a bit darker and tastier than the likes of Corona, Equis etc. Similar to the Negra Modelo, sweet and caramel in taste. Quite nice

Amber. Aroma has some malt and low quality hops. Medium body. Flavor has some caramel with very strong metal and leather overtones. A bit dry for the type, does also have a little tobacco tang. Finish resembles most Mexican lagers with a slight off yeast aftertaste.
