Crack open an Island Coastal Lager (ICL) and you’ll know. This beer was made for easy drinking.
Born in Charleston, South Carolina, ICL is an American Craft Lager created to be your alternative to those mass-market brands that are made with corner-cutting fillers like rice, corn and preservatives. ICL is craft brewed with only the freshest, highest quality ingredients. Perfectly balanced with a smooth taste, light body and crisp mouthfeel, it's a perfect year-round, everyday easy drinker in the cooler or on your tapline.
This fine American Craft Lager should be served super cold and enjoyed at one's leisure. Pairs well with a wide array of delicious foods, from tacos and burgers to grilled fish and steak.

12 oz can for 25 cents off the clearance rack; now that's cheap! Pour is crystal clear lighter pale. Clean light fresh neutral lager nose. Taste if pretty good for a cheap pale lager, one f the better pale lagers I've had for a while. Its clean, refreshing easy to drink and no real ill effects. Good level of carbonation too. Yes, a very friendly lager than most any macro pale lager lover will like. At 25 cents, i'm gonna go get the rest of these off the shelf. As good as any macro lager but perhaps cheaper. Nice virtuous, upright, outstanding and honorable finish too. Could drink a few more of these with no probs. Probably what all cheap macros strive to be.

Can. Clear gold in color with a large head. Aroma and taste was rather tasty lager. Grains, well balanced.

Yellow gold color, with a decent sized head. Not a bad lager at all. Faint nose is musty, hints at white bread and just a hint of indistinct hops. Balanced flavors, with semi-dry bready malts yielding to a lightly bitter finish without any particular hop flavors, though maybe I can get the coriander others are noting (I'm notoriously bad at tasting it in beer). Seems to be a clean fermentation profile, though there is some indistinct doughiness. Light bodied without tasting watered down. As pale lagers go, its pretty good.

[12oz can from Total Wines, Naples, FL.] A hazy amber pour with a fast fading white head; grassy malt aroma; light malty taste; with a grass finish. Nothing exactly wrong, but nothing to get excited about either.

Grabbed six pack to assist with grilling and my fantasy football draft. Normal gold. Tastes corny, grains, grass little hops. Medium bodied and more substantial for style but still easy drinking.

Can: Clear gold with a white head. Mildly sour barley scent. Taste is a bit lactic....barley malt. Grows sweeter and slightly sticky in body as it goes. Pretty decent.....heavier than expected.

12 oz. can. Pours a hazy gold color with a white head and poor retention. No lacing. Indistinct aroma. Basic lager flavor with a hint of honey sweetness. Very soft, almost flat mouthfeel. Smooth. As advertised, very easy drinking, but forgettable. Very poundable.
