S: Just bought this from Liquor Depot in New Britain,CT. on recommendation from beer guru Brian. Great call! Not much of a can enthusiast, but all I have to say is bravo!
A: Pours a hazy golden orange with a white fluffy head into my trustyChouffe Houblon chalice.
S: A fragrant aroma of citrus, grapefruit, and hops permeate the senses.
T: After the prerequisite hop slam, a crisp, clean, fresh flavor of citrus, grapefruit, and floral notes greet thetastebuds. At almost 9%; the ABV is hidden extremely well.
O: Overall, a phenomenal brew! This is truly a benchmark when it comes to Dipas. This would be a go to if it weren't so limited in availability.

Served in a snifter at Armsby Abbey.
Beer pours a hazy burnt orange color with a creamy persistent white head. Heavy aroma of citrus - pineapple, tangerine, grapefruit and just enough malt to carry it. Taste is more of the same with the malts being just enough to balance the heavy load of hops. Medium bodied with just the right amount of carbonation. Overall, one of my favorite double IPAs that I always try to pick up whenever I "can".

This is a truly extraordinary IPA. Its my current favorite, hands down. Its an extremely well-balanced, heavily hopped, smooth, aromatic, double IPA. If you're only having one, save it for last. Once you have one, the next beer is bound to be a disappointment, unless its an even heavier beer, like a DFH 90.

Hands Down the Best Beer in Connecticut!!!
Top 3 IPA's I've ever had!!!
Top two can beers I've ever had!!!
This beer was once a Connecticut only brew and now New England is venturing off into NY. Lucky Them!!!
Just enough availability to it that its still rare, but you can get it enough that its not impossible.

A: Pours straw color - off white head.
S: Big hop aroma- citrus, very fragrent, grapefruit-imagine grabbing a handful of hops, rubbing them together in your hands and putting it up to your nose, outstanding!
T: The qualities of the aroma carry over to the taste. Great hop profile, citrus and piney. Finishes well and not overly bitter considering the intense hop flavor.
M: Nicely carbonated and well balanced.
O: One of my favorite beers - New England Brewing makes some of the best brewed beers and can easily compete with the big names in Craft Beer.

Quite excited for this one. Robots.
A-Pours a hazy vibrant orange color. Bubbles incessantly rise and meet at the top where a puffy off-white head sits. The beer laces excellently leaving chunky spatter on the glass.
S-Potent herbal nose. Incredible orange and grapefruit aromas. This is a big boy beer, you can tell just from the smell. I get an almost onion-like scent which is surpring but it does not deter me. Overall, smells complex and super citrusy.
T-Big, bold, and assertive. Super-complex. You get huge citrus flavors throughout. Juicy grapefruit and orange. Good wallop of pine in here as well. You also get some potent herbal green flavors. I definately get some greep onion tastes. Grassy and oily as well. Resionous. Tastes natural. This beer is hop-foward without a doubt. Malts are there but are clearly not meant to steal the show. Love the unique flavors and the beers complexity is exceptional.
M-Medium bodied. Dry and decently bitter as well. Bubbly carbonation. Resinous.
D-Alcohol masked very well. It has that nice oily quality that I believe all DIPAs should have but it is not too bold. Very drinkable, considering how flavorful the beer actually is.
So happy to find this in a CT liquor store. I suggest you give this a try. Delicious.

On-Tap
This beer was absolutely at its peak on tap. I have had varying levels of excellence from the canned version of this beer. On-tap and fresh is blatantly and obviously where its maximum potential lies. Magnificent.

Cask
Perhaps the best median for this beer. The explosion of citrus is extraordinary. Simply amazing. Cask is the way to go for this beer. One of the best experiences I have had with a beer.

Found in an undisclosed location. Damn, this stuff is hard to find...
A: Orange body, thin white head. Slight lacing.
S: Nose is succulent hopitude. Do I detect Simcoe? Maybe so. This smells like heaven, if heaven allows hops.
T: Flavor is intense citrus hops with only a hint of malt. This is true West Coast IPA territory, but made in New England. I am getting pine-encrusted mango/ tangerine with a huge grapefruit bite. This seems Pliny-like in some respects, but less piney. I suspect Simcoe and Columbus hops are involved. However, this heavenly flavor is really very unique.
M: Thin, tart, toothstripping. Nice!
D: Ridiculously high. Quaffable even. It's hard to conceive that this beer is nearly 9%. This could be my new lawnmower beer, if I can ever find enough of this precious stuff to keep my fridge stocked.
Nice work New England! Please keep making this beer. It is instantly my favorite canned craft brew ever, that includes Maui Big Swell, a long time favorite.

BIG thanks to Rhettroactive for generously sharing this one on a weeknight tasting...
A: Oh my, we've got another Lunch IPA here, which is to say that this beer pours very much like a Hefeweizen. Gandhi-Bot is a murky, light golden color. Surprisingly light for a DIPA. I absolutely love it when beers go against style like this. It looks lovely.
S: Yes, yes, and yes. Lemon, grapefruit, pine. Grapefruit really shines here from the hop oils. Slight herbal scent lingers in the background. The bouquet on this is fantastic, very complex, very bold. One of the best smelling DIPAs I've ever had the privilege to try. I could sniff this all night.
T: Wow, this is a hop head's dream. Explosively hoppy, a sweet grapefruit, citrus bomb. Mild resin and pine notes on the back end. Not a hint of booze as the hops play off a sweet malt backbone. Perfectly balanced and creamy, it is assertive but always smooth. This is absolutely fantastic.
M: Perfect. What else can be said?
O: Unbelievably well balanced for a DIPA. No booziness, no overwhelmingly dry hop profile. It is creamy and sweet, yet still maintains an explosively flavorful and complex profile. This beer is a stunning achievement, one that was as much a pleasure to look at and smell as it was to drink. A hop bomb that is shockingly smooth and light. Buy this early, often, and in large quantities. ISO: more Gandhi-Bot.

Poured from a can into a tulip. Pours a nice burnt orange w a thin white head. Sticky lacing w each sip. The aroma is really nice orange grapefruit citrus and pine heavy w a little bit of sweet malt and maybe a bready note in there too. Taste is hopforward piney minty orange citrus grapefruit bitter nice light malt backbone but sweet caramelly and then hop closed w a lingering piney bitter finish. Mouthfeel is pretty light w good carbonation. Goes down smooth for a DIPA. Overall I am very glad to have found the last 4-pack in town of this baby and drinking it right now. This is a hop showcase IIPA. Really diggin the Gandhi-Bot.
Edit: had it fresh this time. It's more amazing than I recall. Notes are similar but the nose punch and finish are much "fresher" this time around.

Had my growler filled at 5 p.m. after it had been released that morning. Poured my first glass around 6:30, so pretty fresh. Poured into a snifter.
A: Just gorgeous golden, just the color made me want a sip.
S: Floral, Pine, Citrus overwhelming. So inviting.
T: WOW. Just great, so glad I have a full grolwer and only one person to share with.
M: Full, rich mouthfeel. Almost a little under carbonated, but that's if I am being picky.
O: I am thrilled to live only 20 minutes from this brewery. I will be filling the growler often.

Deep, bready, great effervescent mouth feel. Maybe too drinkable for its own good Some piney and floral notes.
I really was expecting this to not live up to the hype and I was flat out WRONG. Very, very good. Really enjoyable, with some complexities that happen after the second can.

Growler - big thanks to tony (hopstoopid120) for this one.
Beer pours a really nice orange color with a really nice white foamy head. Great looking in the glass.
You can smell the aroma even before you lift the glass up to your face. This really packs an awesome punch. Tons of grapefruit, orange zest, tropical fruit...I really get a lot of Columbus hops ? Super dank.
Taste is really quite nice...citrus, mango, this tastes like five alive ! Really nice tangerine, pine and really well balanced with the malt sweetness. Just right. Almost west coast like in style.
Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, and drink ability is out of control. Great job from Matt and the guys at New England. This one is going to be a big hit once the cans hit the stores.

had this beer at a recent tasting
the beer pours a slightly hazey golden wheat color with a nice white head.
the smell was over the top, this was the one beer at the tasting where we each had our own, and once poured into the pint glasses the smell took over the living room. straight up hop. can't taste the abv, just feel its affects
a wonderful balance between citrus and the pine hop flavors
good carbonation and very light malt gave this a light mouthfeel
if this beer were not 8.8% I could drink them all day.

Fairly thick blonde head takes an average amount of time to fall to a speckled film, but still thick around the edges. Very thickly clouded, almost milky pale yellow. A few flakes of brownish sediment very slowly drop towards the bottom. Sort of a strange appearance, not exactly pretty, but I'm quite intrigued.
An enticing hop aroma springs forth such that I don't even need to bring nose near glass. When I do, a wonderful complex bouquet of citrusy, floral, and to a lesser extent evergreen hops tingles the olfactory receptors. Surprisingly, it is not as intense up close as the whiff from afar had warned - merely a pleasant hint for the tongue of things to come. There is also a subtle hay note.
The flavor is a full-on assault of the taste buds, in a good way. This beer is everything a hop head could want, with major pucker power provided by pungent white grapefruit, lemon, and pine notes. This DIPA is very dry, with little of the caramel malt sweetness found in many of its ilk, or even citrusy sweetness -- the unadulterated bitterness of a Cinderella step-sister. Some light herbal and turmeric hints do nothing to ease the bite.
As hinted by the cloudiness, this is a full-bodied beer. Feels heavy in the mouth, though not sticky. A nice light carbonation provides just enough texture in the mouth.
This is a supremely drinkable DIPA. I find the sweetness of many DIPAs and Imperials to be cloying and lessen their appeal after one or two. This one is actually thirst quenching given the intense bracing bitterness. One might not be able to taste anything else afterwards, however. I first enjoyed it in a hot tub around New Year's, as it seemed like a good canned option. I highly recommend that usage, or for camping, etc. when one wants a great beer with no glass. This beer is an all-around win.
Enjoyed on 1/19/11

New England Brewing Co. - Gandhi-Bot Double IPA - 12fl oz can
Thanks to Hendry for being able to snag me four of these bad boys. Gotta love the awesome artwork on these cans.
Look - Pours a hazy darker amber brown with a massive soapy head. Super sticky abundant lacing. Moderate carbonation. East Coast DIPA for sure.
Smell - All of the hops. Pine, citrus (sour typical grapefruit version here), some floral, and even a smidgen of resin hop aromas with an almost spicy bite on the edge of it. Smooth caramel malts underneath. Perfect.
Taste - A phenomenal introduction blend of the somewhat darker malts with a nice pine/resin hop overlay. After this is immediately transforms into a glorious grapefruit bomb.
Mouthfeel - Rests sour citrus grapefruit hops on the roof of the mouth and the palate. Slightly boozy and a little warming to the face and stomach.
Overall - Wow. This is one for the books here, what a great brew! Highly recommend! Cheers! You can compare this brew somewhat to Heady Topper, but it has its own flair with the different malts and less of a floral hit.

16oz can into a wine glass.
Appearance: Free pour yields a 1/3 inch off-white head that sticks to the side of the glass in a ring. Pours a bubbly, hazy amber. Leaves large walls and spots of lacing.
Smell: Some nice, strong and sweet tropical fruit hops up front, with mild pine in the background. The savory note in the taste comes out in the smell as the beer warms, along with some breadiness. Hops aroma is somewhat pungent, which is good.
Taste: The first thing I notice about the taste is the perfect amount of bitterness. 85 IBU sounds about right, but mixed in with the beautiful balance of hops and malt it's not unpleasant in the slightest. There's a dark, savory note going on that I can't quite pin down (someone wrote "scallions" in a review, and it's not far off, but tastes a lot better than that sounds). The hops are mostly piny, with some subtle tropical fruit that's a lot less sweet and more subdued than in the smell. There's also a big, toasty malt backbone throughout, which provides a great counterpoint to the huge hops assault.
Overall, it tastes excellent. It's exactly what I want from a DIPA; huge, distinctive hops flavors, lots of bitterness, and an anchoring malt backbone.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied, with the perfect amount of carbonation to complement the bitterness and robust flavor. Feels a little thin, but it's a small complaint.
Drinkability: If I could get this regularly, I would. Another perfect counter-example to "you only like X so much because it's rare." I hope they make a lot more of this so I can grab up multiple six packs every time a fresh batch comes out. As for the 8.8% ABV, I didn't taste it, but I did feel it. And I wanted another one.
Gandhi-bot is an excellent DIPA. It's in the same league as Pliny and Capt. Lawrence. Get it while you can, and drink it fresh.

I feel kind of bad. Living literally within a mile of the brewery, we blew through 3 or 4 four-packs of this stuff before we realized what a hot commodity they would become. Ahh well, next time I guess.
Anyway, fantastic brew. Has all the citrus and pine notes of the best west coast doubles, without being as aggressively bitter as them. Strong grapefruit presence. In fact, this might end up being the definitive grapefruit beer if that's what you're into. Definitely way too sessionable for a 9% brew.
Another gem from a couple of guys who basically work out of a garage. Way to be NEBCO.

Finally reviewing my local favorite. Poured from a can, less than a week old, into a tulip.
A- Pours a hazy amber orange. Not a lot of head, with a foam ring and a light bubbly foam on top.
S- Amazing. This is why you drink IPAs local, folks. Smells like an IPA brew day. Fresh, glorious tropical citrus hops. Grapefruit, tangerine. A bit of bready malt makes it through.
T/M- Delivers. Pure, delicious hops, with the tangerine and grapefruit of the nose. Despite the huge hop profile, it's not all that bitter compared to some. Juicy is the word that comes to mind. Ripe. The malt backbone and the hops are almost perfectly balanced. It's hard to imagine a more drinkable double IPA. The mouthfeel is light-ish quite low on the carbonation -- lower than I remember from previous batches.
O- Truly at the top of the class. Deserves to be in the conversation with the best Double IPAs out there. I am very lucky to be able to get Gandhi-Bot basically whenever I want.

A hazy amber with a small ring collar. ( I'm reviewing the appearance from a plastic cup..probably a lot better in glass)
The smell is great. Grapefruit rind, piney, other citrus fruits, floral...complex nose. I am half expecting to see if there's actually hop oils visable on the surface,it's so pronounced.
The taste is not subtle. Starts with a semi sweet malt punch right to the tip of the tongue, followed quickly by an uppercut to the rest of the mouth. Grapefruit rind and pine, tangerine, and a lot of other mixed fruity and floral hops run amuck. It's powerful, slightly astringent and finishes dry. Leaves your mouth calling for more. Not the least bit cloying. Alcohol very well hidden, but this is almost 9 % and you need to go slowly; it's so drinkable. This is what I was hoping for and New England delivered !
Ridiculously tasty.

Poured from the can into my sam's perfect pint glass
This beer poured a very cloudy, almost orange juice like in color, with a slight, slight tan head that sat nicely upon the body...about 1-2 fingers.
Smell - This beer has one of the best noses I've ever experienced in a beer. Lots of pine, grapefruit citrus notes hit you first, and that's pretty much all I can notice. It heavily reminds me of a fresh Christmas tree...! Wonderful!
Taste - Lets hope the nose and palate agree with each other...and they do! It's not as bitter as one would think it would be, or at least my palate says different, but this DIPA is absolutely juicy and ripe, full of those grapefruit and yummy pine hops. This is my favorite beer to date...and the ABV is hidden very well!
Mouthfeel - the carbonation is so well done, it intertwines with the hops and small malt character to bring everything together. Full mouthfeel for sure.
Drinkability - I could have a few of these based on taste alone, it's a very delicious DIPA. I would stock up on this if it were more available.
All in all, my favorite DIPA to date. I wish I could get my hands on more of it as it's quite delectable. The ABV will creep on you quick, that is for certain! If you have the chance to try this, do not pass it up.

Poured from a 12 oz can into a tulip. Acquired in a trade from Surge1311. Thanks man!
A- Pours a golden orange, very hazy body with a very small white head that reduces quickly and doesn't leave much lacing. I feel as if I didn't pour it agressive enough to really from a good head.
S- Very floral. Tropical fruits, grapefruit. Fresh evergreen and citrus notes.
T- Wow. This one just knocked my socks off. Big grapefruit and citrus notes with modest pine and resin notes in the background. Huge hop presence without being cloying or astringent. Leaves a subtle bitterness on the tongue that demands another sip. First 5 I've ever given for flavor.
M- Low carbonation, medium-low body. Very drinkable, crisp, and refreshing.
This may just be my new favorite DIPA. It hits all the high points that I look for in the category. It's juicy, hoppy, and balanced. It's intensely flavorful with a light mouthfeel that warrants extreme drinkability. Perfect for any occasion. I just wish I could get more. A+

Acquired from Jayli, so a big "Thank You" goes out to her. Poured from a 12oz can into a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a murky gold color, with a thin off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.
S: The aroma is an excellent blend of piney hops, fruity citrus and light caramelized malts.
T: The taste starts out with a strong burst of grassy hops bitterness that is quickly tempered by a hearty but not too heavy malt character. Then some sweet flavors of citrus and caramel come in and provide a very good balance. The after-taste is quite hoppy.
M: Crisp and very smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
D: Very tasty, goes down extremely easy, not too filling, nice kick, very good representation of style, this is definitely an excellent 2IPA worth drinking for a whole evening.

Thank the folks at New England Brewing for unleashing such a "hop-sational" brew.
If you are a hop lover and have not tried this brew, fresh, then you most certainly must.
I can't wait until the warm weather comes, so my thirst may be truly quenched by can after can of this great Imperial/Double IPA.
When poured into a large mouth glass it really gives you an opportunity to take in the nose of this brew which can consist of tangy grapefruit essence, wrapped in a poignant grassy, earthy breeze.
The color just speaks in volumes with its wheat/tangerine glow.
Mouth is thin, but inviting.
As far as drinkability, I can only say be aware of the ABV. Otherwise "I'm a Two-Can Sam" before the intense hops begin to blur and I can't enjoy it for all its hop glory.
Now hop to it, and get some!

On tap at Mikro with R Moe Nay, Pustevlaho, Andrea, and Jlynn. Looks like the yellow brick road... clear, golden, and carbonated. Smells of grapefruit, citrus, and HOPS! So hoppy and such a fruity sweetness to balance it out. This DIPA fresh is tough to beat. Pliny and Topper are the only beers off hand that I can think of that rival it. I absolutely love the hop profile of this beer. The alcohol is completely hidden and a clean smooth feel would be an understatement. Love having this brewery in my state. The only thing I can think of that distinguishes this beer on tap from the can is the ever so slight freshness of the hops and carbonation is dead on. The score if the same for the can because I can give the taste a 4.7 for the bottle and 4.6 for the can respectively.
