About
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.

On cask at the White Cross, Lancaster. Appearance - golden amber with a nice thin head. Nose - apples and brown bread. Taste - more green apples and bread. Palate - light to medium bodied with dry astringent green apple thing. Overall - is this off?

Pours a clear orange gold colour with a small loose frothy white head. A pale malt aroma overlaid with citrusy grapefruit and orange. A moderately sweet grainy malt taste grapefruit flavours and a citrusy hop bitterness in the finish. Quite nice and refreshing.

Handpull cask at the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, Oadby. Golden and clear. The tiny white head gives away a lot of lacing. Light scent of apricots and bready malt. Taste is pretty bland: bittersweet with a short finish. Very little character for a beer from such a good brewery.
