|---|---|---|---|
| Kent - Lemon Scream | 4.70 | | As it says, lemon lemon lemon |

| Volden - Session (or Session Ale) | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Sambrook's - Watneys Pale Ale | 4.20 | Not Tried | Still lacking any sort of honest provenance on the pump clip |

Evening visit until midnight close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

27 Aug 2019 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until midnight close. Oh the very opprobrium heaped on the "Coming soon" pump signs.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| East London (ELB) - Dragon | 4.10 | | Rather sour, needed slooshes of lemonade to make it truly palatable |
| Five Points - Best Goldings Hops | 4.10 | | Lacklustre |
| Volden - Pale (formerly Pale Ale) | 4.60 | Not Tried | |
| Volden - Session (or Session Ale) | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Reunion - Opening Gambit | 3.80 | Not Tried |
18 Aug 2019 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until midnight close. The irritating "Coming soon" signs are even more prominent - both were beers I shoul;d have preferred IF they had been on.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burning Sky - Plateau | 3.50 | | Most lacklustre Plateau I have ever had, none of the usual crispness - took shots of lemonade to finish it |
| Reunion - Engage! | 3.70 | | |
| Volden - Pale (formerly Pale Ale) | 4.60 | Not Tried | |
| Volden - Session (or Session Ale) | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Reunion - Beardtongue | 4.50 | Not Tried |
08 Aug 2019 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until midnight close. Whose idea was it to put little "Coming soon" labels on some pumps, mimicking an awful and much derided Wetherspoon's practice?

Evening visit until midnight close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saltaire - Marmalade Sky | 4.40 | | |
| Adnams - So Many Different Worlds | 3.70 | | Pumpclip calls it a "Collaboration Brew" but with whom not stated which is useless. Whatever it is meant to be it described itself as an English Pale Ale and all it really was was an innocuous bit of nothingness in flavour |
| Tonbridge - Blonde Ambition | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Gun - Scaramanga Extra Pale Ale | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
| Volden - Pale (formerly Pale Ale) | 4.60 | Not Tried | |

Evening visit until midnight close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burning Sky - Plateau | 3.50 | | Always reliable |
| Gun - Chummy Bluster | 4.40 | | Clip suggests a new take on a best bitter. Bit of a misnomer in my view, with a distinct lack of bitterness |
| Adnams - Ghost Ship | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Volden - Pale (formerly Pale Ale) | 4.60 | Not Tried | |
| Volden - Session (or Session Ale) | 3.80 | Not Tried |

Evening visit until midnight close. 2 handpumped ciders on tonight including the ubiquitous Westons Old Rosie.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

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, one of which regularly carries a cider.
We have visited this pub 223 times, seen 499 different beers and tried 266 of them.
