Description
Welcome to the Green Jack Brewing Company website. Green Jack was founded in 1993 by Tim Dunford, we are a multi-award winning traditional real ale brewery based in Lowestoft in Suffolk. From humble beginnings Green Jack has now grown into one of the largest real ale breweries in East Anglia. In 2009 we built a new 38 barrel brew house in an old smoke house in the heart of historic Lowestoft. This enabled Green Jack to produce significantly improved volumes of our award-winning real ales. Green Jack beers are now available nationwide and online via our Real Ale Shop. Green Jack beers are known for their subtle balance of sugars, malt and hops, we produce beers of our design along with our own contemporary take on traditional English beer styles.

Golden amber with a frothy white head and a sweet orange aroma. Fresh, light to medium bodied, fruity with a yeasty edge, some chewy wheat character, a touch of floral bitterness and a dry bittersweet finish.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A pale golden amber pour with a thin white head that laces the glass completely; light orangey aroma with; silky smooth grainy body with an orange taste and some yeast; then dry and bready. A satisfying sipping beer.

Cask at Wheatsheaf, Stoke. Pours a golden amber with minimal foamy off-white head and good lacing. There’s a restrained aroma of oranges and tropical fruit. In the mouth it is sweet and smooth with a deep creamy texture. Floral hops and wheat flavours (bubble gum, banana) to the fore with oranges also prominent. The alcoholic strength becomes evident after a while as do some hints of citrus. Finish is juicy and a little boozy. This is rather nice – an unusual combination of flavours and not overdosing on either.

Wetherspoon Spring Beer Festival 2026, Beer#9. I wasn't a huge fan of the original version, this clear golden ale a slightly better fan of. Perhaps the better depth gives a better wheat ale character this time, but still struggling with the orange part. Somewhat breaded nose.
