NEBCO Gandhi-Bot vrs Ithica Flower Power

Flower Power wins this one.

 

for me, Gandhi Bot > Flower Power > Sea Hag (NEBCO's IPA). But I love all 3 and they are staples in my fridge when available.

 

ITHACA. With an A. Not IthIca with an I. This is the second time today it's been spelled wrong. That said, I've never had Ghandi Bot (it's on my wants list) but I'd hold Flower Power up to *any* IPA. It's my favorite beer.

 

As a west coaster, getting beers from trades, (sometimes questionable freshness, with no dates) I've had them and go with Ithaca Flower Power.

 

Wish I could have one of each of these...

 

Nope, Ima disagree with you on this one. Flower Power is glorious and all that, it really is, but Gandhi-Bot is a different animal and when it's fresh, it shows. They're just different, in the end: GB is much maltier, and more citrus-pungent with a ridiculously fragrant nose; FP is lighter and crisper, hop aroma and flavor are less citrus-dominated (they're citrusy, but have other elements that are kind of unique to FP, if you ask me), but also not as whiz-bang as GB in those aspects. They're just different animals.

And you can say one's an IPA and the other's a DIPA, but it's 7.5% vs. 8.8%—remember that Heady is "only" 8.0%, so the IPA/DIPA differential in some of these comparisons is practically negligible.

Love FP, love GB, both fantastic but they're different to me and scratch (slightly) different itches.

 

Gandhi Bot is better...love Flower Power, but Gandhi Bot is a bit of a step up.

 

Although you're my bro I think you are WRONG, Gandhi-Bot all the way....CHEERS

 

Gandhi-Bot. But they're different animals, and I'll never turn down a fresh Flower Power.

 

Well your ass needs to set up a trade me or my buddy oldedog will be happy to accomadate you...CHEERS
esp for some goodies from your neck of the woods

 

Once I get some more cash on hand and slow up on a few other trades, you've got it!

 

if flower power was in my distro id always have it in my fridge for sure, i love that stuff, possibly my favorite ipa

 

I had fresh batches of both shipped to me in the same box, and had wanted to try both for a while. Gandhi-Bot was honestly a bit of a let down. Flower Power on the other hand was off the chain/hook.

 

Both are great, edge to the Great Gandhi though.

Cheers

 

Gandhi-Bot by an 11th round KO.

 

For what it's worth.......

I think it is a real shame that someone would ship you Gandhi-Bot that wasn't fresh.
Real pet peeve of mine when people send out such an awesome brew that is not fresh just to get a trade done.

Fresh G-Bot is a real treat,trust me!

Cheers

 

Both great, but different. Bot for me.
