Evening visit until midnight close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanic - Plum Porter | 4.90 | | Somehow a little less cloying than yesterday |
| Bad Seed - Shakedown | 4.60 | | A sweetish APA, accepted as hazy as is unfined, lacked as much carbonation as would make it more palatable. Tasty |

Evening visit until midnight close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Siren Craft - Suspended in Bravo | 4.00 | | Bravo, Citra, Ekuanot and Centennial hops. A murky pineapple amoothie scrumpy in looks. Becoming a boring style from Siren, added some lemonade to end the chore of finishing it |

| Siren Craft - Ryesing Tides IPA | 7.00 | Not Tried | |

|---|---|---|---|
| Volden - Session (or Session Ale) | 3.80 | | Crisp and tasty, more than expected from a Volden beer |
| Siren Craft - Ryesing Tides IPA | 7.00 | | Heavy hitting 7%er but could do with having a cleaner crisper mouthfeel |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - McConnel's | 5.00 | Not Tried | |

| Volden - Session (or Session Ale) | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Arbor Ales - Summit | 6.50 | Not Tried | Initially I thought it was to tease but the clip was being turned round as I walked up to the bar. Sold out at last |

| Arbor Ales - Summit | 6.50 | | On at least 4 days now and as excellent as on Sunday, its strength surely helps preserve its condition |

Evening visit until midnight close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Siren Craft - Suspended in Mosaic | 4.00 | | Murky as the name suggests, with a sharp hop taste |
| Almasty - Breakfast IPA | 6.00 | | No idea what to make of this, the murkiest muddiest beer I think I have ever had. Balanced in taste but a real disappointment as an alleged IPA |

The pub is found in New Cross, Greater London, SE14 6TJ.
Located in New Cross Road it could be in Deptford or New Cross. Almost universally described as the “best pub in the area” the Royal Albert has massively improved since its 2007 reversion to its proper name, after a time as the Paradise Bar, and reversion to proper pub values. Has a pubby space at the front and more of a dining room feel towards the rear, where there is an open view kitchen. Very handy for Deptford Bridge DLR or New Cross stations. Sports 8 handpumps. An Antic pub before being taken over by Portobello. Re-opened 21st November 2022 after a closure for refurbishment.
We have visited this pub 238 times, seen 521 different beers and tried 281 of them.
