One of the better light colored ales using nitro for that thick creamy Guinness like body and head. It has enough hop presence to show up through the creaminess. Unfortunately, I don't care much for those smooth creamy beers - I prefer an assertive bite.

A very interesting beer, though possibly not a successful one for Yards, as I hear its being phased out. The cross of english pale ale hoppiness with pilsner hop flavor is certainly interesting and actually quite good - it perhaps just didn't catch on.

This weighs in at a whopping 8% ABV, but you'd never guess my tasting it. It has the intense hop bitterness (this is highly hopped) of a good IPA, but no high alcohol taste at all. These guys know how to make beer and this is as good an example from Yards as any. Intensely floral and somewhat fruity aroma.

As they claim - its a rich dark beer. It has the rich maltiness and full body of any of the best oatmeal stouts I've had. Also a nice hint of bitterness. A very good beer. Pours a little too bubbly - then has little head to speak of.

A very strong beer - matches well with some of the game fare (venison, rabbit, duck) at the City Tavern. Nice cloudy golden color - thick head and lace that clings to the glass all the way down. Strong, sweet, and yeasty. Unsure of alcohol content but it must be high. I could sure feel it leaving the tavern.

Nice fruity aroma - a great ale scent. Taste is a little flat, but has good malt/hop balance. A good beer but too thin to be perfect, in my opinion.

Very easy-drinking beer - as a saison should be. Good summer choice. Initial taste is malt, but hops show up in aftertaste.

Clean spicy scent with hints of cinnamon and chocolate. First tastes are of malt and alcohol. Very rich and full-bodied. Would pair well with roast beef.
