Just a scattering of customers this evening and the pub is accepting card payments only as an anti-virus measure.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spartan - Achilles Heel | 4.20 | | Quite a dry Pale Ale. |
| East London (ELB) - Foundation Bitter | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Three Sods - Rooi Kabouter Red Ale | 4.90 | Not Tried |

The busiest I have encountered this pub. This was despite (or perhaps because of) the group of musicians gathered at one end jamming some folksy/bluegrass sort of stuff. Very pleasant.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pig & Porter - Dance First | 4.20 | | A very decent Stout. |
| East London (ELB) - Foundation Bitter | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Hammerton - N7 | 5.20 | Not Tried |

This basic boozer has a slightly disconcerting other-worldliness about it. I see that as an attribute. There are now three handpumps on the bar.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pig & Porter - Pattern Recognition | 4.20 | | A golden beer, brewed with experimental hop EXP431. Tasty, but just a little thin I thought. |
| Colchester - Sweeney Todd | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Stod Fold - Dr Harris | 5.70 | Not Tried |

Early evening visit with pouring rain outside. Quite a few taking shelter within.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bath Ales - Summer's Hare | 3.90 | | Pale in colour. Mostly a sweetish, malty taste. |
| Shamblemoose - #7 Wyoming Pale Ale | 4.00 | | Amber-coloured. Full-bodied and malty. |

Brief visit to see the latest incarnation of this pub which I used to use in its Firkin days. A small crowd watching TV football, with live music to come later in the evening. Just the one handpump.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harbour - Double IPA No. 1 | 6.80 | | Served on keg dispense, but not over-gassed. Golden in colour. A floral hop aroma and a fruity hop taste. |
| London Fields - Hackney Hopster | 4.20 | | Amber-coloured, sweetish malt, heavy Pacific hop presence, dry and bitter aftertaste. |

The pub is found in Holloway, Greater London, N7 8JL.
This pub was established by 1861 as the Lamb and also served as the Highbury Brewery Tap. Well-known from its 1980s/1990s incarnation as the Flounder & Firkin, it emerged from Firkinisation as Barcosa for a while and since February 2012 is back to being the Lamb. The frontage has some nice, green faience tiles, and the front bar has wood panelling. Basically furnished, with a rather distressed, wood-planking floor.
We have visited this pub 5 times, seen 12 different beers and tried 7 of them.
