DRINK THIS IMMEDIATELY: Birra del Borgo's Genziana

From the esoteric beet-soda and grapefruit-sherbet cocktails and punches to the exotic Euro beers, there is an unholy amount of delectable things to drink at Farmer's Cabinet (1113 Walnut St.). It's unfair, really; they should serve a spare liver in lieu of bread. You'll have to wait a few weeks for my Official City Paper Review® — they have a new chef in Jason Goodman — but there's no harm in sharing now the golden glory of Birra del Borgo's Genziana. DL has lauded the Italian brewery's gentian-root ale in NFTWs past, and rightly so. At the Cabinet, the cascade of beer sparkled as a strappy-suspendered bartender poured it into a voluptuous Del Borgo goblet trapped its intense herbal, floral aroma. It's crisp as a just-picked apple, the gentian root bringing the refreshing bitterness but not the bite. Drink this immediately!
