Noggin
Citrus and floral notes from all-British hops, a slight malt sweetness and a moderate bitterness. Noggin is a pale ale at 4.2%, hopped with Magnum, Endeavour, Opus and Jester over pale, Munich and caramalt. Brewpoint revived it from a beer first launched in the 1960s to mark 150 years since Charles Wells began brewing in Bedford, and it was released from late August 2026.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Noggin
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
