Garrison Brewing - Hop Yard Pale Ale
Pours clear, light amber with a decent but short lived off-white head.
Aroma of sweet dough and light flowery citrus notes.
Feel is quite good, full and creamy.
Tastes are also nice. A fair doughy base with some very nice citrus hops flavours coming in on top. There is a hint of sulpher in there as well but it is quite mild and not too distracting. The overall taste profile is mostly citrus hops and is fairly mild, just enough to keep it clean tasting. It would make a great session beer with it's pleasant and clean flavours but there is nothing really outstanding in it. Just a good and fairly flavourful beer, very solid and stable.

Pleasant smoky aroma. Have never come across a smell like that in an ale. Flowery with a bit of citrus flavor. Nice clean bitter after taste. Another great blend of hops and malt, (or bitter and sweet). All in all another great beer, not quite as good a blend as the Fullers ESB.
This is what Fuller's has to say about this beer:
"London Pride is a smooth and astonishingly complex beer, which has a distinctive malty base complemented by a rich balance of well developed hop flavours from the target, challenger and northdown varieties in the brew. At 4.1% a.b.v in cask (4.7% a.b.v in bottles)London Pride is an ideal session-strength premium ale."
