| Arbor Ales - Yakima Valley | 7.00 | | Full on in every way, a nightcapper if ever there was one |

Evening visit until midnight close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Siren Craft - Yu Lu | 3.60 | | A one dimensional beer |
| Anarchy - Cult Leader | 5.50 | | Mosaic Pale Ale but what to make of a glass of pure murk, certainly no cleanness of taste and little hop nose |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rooster's - CC Rider | 4.30 | | |
| Reunion - Trial Brew No. 10 Bloomer | 4.50 |  | Something odd here. Pint had acetic backtaste and was swapped out with good grace. The Guv later pulled some more through and tasters gradually came up to scratch. |

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.
