I was a little apprehensive to get this kit, finding the addition of oranges during the fermentation to be concerning. However, I followed the instructions (mostly) and it turned out fantastic! It was in the fermentor for eight days and keg conditioned for another eight days. While it is still a bit hazy, the flavor is TANGY, ZESTY, fruity, and juicy. It came in at 6.4% abv and is very easy to drink. It'll go fast! I'll certainly be brewing this beer again!

I didn't fully read the description before ordering this kit, so I was surprised that I would have to include oranges to the fermentation. I ferment in corney kegs so I try to avoid adding fruit during fermentation. Having said all that you do get an ever so light orange/grapefruit on top of the otherwise great IPA.

I added some oak chips to keg dry hop Stainless Hop Tube (remove the cotter pin on top it will rust.. rest is good)... deep bitter goodness.

This came out great with US-05 yeast and some valencia oranges. Definitely in the top 5 of beers I've ever made. It has a decent hop profile and is full bodied. The orange isn't "in your face" overpowering the other flavours - instead it is a perfect compliment. This may have replaced the Citrus Bomb IPA as my favourite morebeer.mom all-grain kit, and it's 20% cheaper to boot!

This beer generated some great flavors with a malty backbone and citrus highlights, but I was left with a lot of bitterness on the backend. I had used some fresh zest from the oranges and perhaps went a little overboard here. I'd make it again but cut back on the amount of zest I add.

This is by far the best beer I've try, so balanced and full bodied. I've brew it twice so far and planning to keep it always on stock

Great beer I will be buying again , missed gravity target , but that's fine , easy drinking great tasting beer

Loved this kit.... All my friends said this was one of the tastiest IPAs I've ever made.

Well balanced with a nice citrus kick.

I've brewed this a few time using the Grainfather and have had total success. I've dry hopped and added grapefruit , orange and lemon zest and without any fruit at all and it's always delicious. My favorite More Beer kit.

Brewed M-80 IPA using Wyeast 1056 and used three oranges and zest exactly like directions dictated. I soaked the oranges and zest in vodka for an hour or so and added to secondary for two weeks. After bottling I waited a couple of weeks before tasting as directed and I truly love this beer. The added sweetness of the oranges balances the bitterness of the hops and zest perfectly in my opinion. This is by far one of my favorite IPA's I have brewed.

This is one of the best beer kit I've ever made, my friends loved it.

I didn't expect too much from this kit due to the price but it turned out to be one of the best I've ever brewed or tasted. I used grapefruit and orange peel but only about an ounce of each. Will use more on the next two batches of M-80 currently fermenting. If you like hoppy IPA's, this is a great kit.

this was awesome. i left the orange peel out of it, and decided to make it into a jalapeno ipa. i added 4 jalapenos sliced in half at flame out, and then added 4 more into the secondary after a couple weeks. this was amazing!! definitely will brew this one again. the jalapeno flavor was a nice smooth "green" jalapeno flavor and no heat at all. fantastic brew

This was wonderfully citrusy and piney. I used canned mandarin oranges in their own juice (pasteurized, no sanitation issues) and it turned out great. Just different enough from other IPAs I have made. Will definitely make again.

While the citrus taste and smell did not come through very well for me, this is a fantastic American IPA. Tons of hops flavor and a grain bill that matches it well. Love this IPA!

I am giving this 5 stars because I would not change the grain and hop bill.I used grapefruit instead of oranges. I thought that I ruined the beer at first, it was grapefruit acid bitter at first. But the bitterness subsided to a nice grapefruit dryness. Unique beer.I am going to brew it again tonight but will use the oranges or high quality orange juice (for quick convenience).GREAT IPA...ESPECIALLY FOR WARMER SEASONS.

Just kegged this last week and it has turned out to be a great IPA! The oranges and orange zest definitely contribute to the bitterness and flavor. The only change I would make would be to dry hop with some citra or something similar. Loved the hop bitterness but it could have used just a bit more aroma to put it into the amazing category. Also, I had a substantial amount of trub even after cold crashing for a week. I had a little over 5 gallons in the primary but ended up with a little over 4 gallons in the keg. I'll probably brew this again with some minor changes. Great kit!

I used 1 Large Grapefruit & 1 Orange and it turned out great. If you love IPA's get this beer!

M-80 is a great starting point! I swapped a 1/4 grapefruit for an orange conservatively. Should have put the whole thing in. With a healthy dose of oak chips it turned out great. -Morebeer we need more kits like this.

This beer is fantastic, very well rounded and the flavor is perfect. I used fresh blood oranges off our tree and it did not disappoint! I will definitely brew this one again soon!

I added 3 cups tangerine juice to the keg prior to carbonating. really good

This may be the best beer I've brewed yet. Nailed all of the details(mash temp, ferm. temp, OG, etc.) and it's the first batch I have kegged. It's awesome! Used three oranges just like it says, except I soaked them in a little vodka overnight and dumped the whole thing in.I will definitely get this one again.

Don't skip the oranges! Bitter and hoppy, yum!
