We don't have much use for certain "beach beers". Clearly, we like
some (
see the previous podcast). But Corona, Kalik, Sol... nah. Except, of course, in the event that you're in the Bahamas -- then it's perfectly enjoyable to down ice cold Kaliks along with your fresh conch salad at your conch shack on the beach!

While vacationing in the Turks & Caicos Islands, we discovered the Islands' own beer, Turk's Head. They make a lager and an amber. The liquor store in Whitby, North Caicos only had the lager. It comes in a twist-off capped clear bottle. The beer has a fairly dark, amber color -- much darker than the previously mentioned light straw golden colored "beach beers".
Turk's Head Lager has a decidedly sweet flavor, with very little hop characteristics. The body is heavier than other "island beers". There's also a slightly sour tang in the finish -- not off-putting, but a little strange. I think that the colder this one is and the closer to the beach you are when drinking it, the better!

By the way, we'd direct you to a website for Turk's Head, but there doesn't appear to be a functional website for the Providenciales-based brewery.
