G, D, A, Bm

The key of this progression is D Major, shown by the G and A chords (IV and V are the only two major chords next to each other in the major scale). BUT, the central chord is G, so I'd think G Lydian (the notes of D Major, but focusing on G).

Another way to see the key is to look at the chords.
G = G, B, D
D = D, F#, A
A = A, C#, E
Bm = B, D, F#

Putting all of these notes together, you get G, A, B, C#, D, E, F#, or G Lydian.
