This was only my second brew and it turned out really good!
This brew turned out very good. The Citra hops are yummy and it’s not too bitter. I cut up three oranges and added it to the primary for mentor because I don’t have a secondary fermentor. The orange flavor pairs excellent with the Citra hops. Final ABV is 6%.
Very good I was short on time. From start to finish 11 days Served In a keg at a party with very good reviews
I added an additional 2oz of galaxy hops during the dry-hop addition - beer tastes great. Definitely one of the favorites I've brewed so far.
I don't have any special brewing skills, so I wasn't the reason this turned out so good. It wasn't too bitter. It wasn't too hoppy. It wasn't too sweet. All the flavors were well balanced. The dry hopping did stand out and made this the best pale ale ever. I used WLP051 and followed the directions included with the kit with no deviations.
This is one of my favorite beers to make, but I don't think I'll be buying it again at this price.
I bought two extract kits when it was a deal of the day. The brew day was easy and the wort OG was 1.060. Used gigayeast NorCal yeast in 2L starter fermented in basement at 65degrees. Finished at 1.012, kegged and drink after two weeks. This beer has a nice light citra aroma with a big pale ale backbone thanks to the maltodextrin and carapils. Over all a decent pale ale. But the finish is not Pleasant at all. It has been a month since I have first tried it and the finish has become twangy and kinda sticks to your palate. I have had this same taste from other extracts from morebeer but just drank it. I have 10 gallons of this!!!! I don't want to dump it but it is getting worse as it sits in the keg. I would make the all grain if I was to do it again. But the price was right and now I'm left hoping it loses that twang after taste.
This was my first recipe kit from MoreBeer, and it did not disappoint. I was looking for one of those "any time" beers, that would be crisp and smooth and taste like summer on the porch. I've shared this with a few friends who have all said they would pay top dollar to buy this at a store or bar, but I don't share it anymore because I keep it for myself. One tip: I called MoreBeer to ask a couple questions since it was my first brew with them, and they suggested a slightly different schedule for dry-hopping than what came with the instructions, and that may well have helped make this such a treat.
This kit turned out great. Everyone at the homebrew meeting loved it. Primary for 8 days, secondary for 7. The only thing I want to change next time is to double the dry hop addition.
Has a very fruity aroma and taste. Very low bitterness from the Magnum hops, lots of flavor and aroma from the Citra. While it is considered an IPA, the bitterness normally found in most commercial American IPAs is lacking. I really enjoyed the taste. It had an almost sweet finish to it that was very refreshing.
This was one of the best of many I have made. I am now using this as my go to brew and I add a little galaxy to the final hop addition and dry hop. If you have not tried it you need to!
This is a super easy, but very good beer. I brewed , transferred to secondary and dry hopped, and kegged within 12 days. Few days later after carbonating- it is just great. I'll definitely order this one again.
I can brew and drink this over and over again. I've brewed it many times. I've added extra wet hops during the brew, dry hops, etc. It's always amazing. This is my go to beer.
I've brewed this three times now. Never lets me down. The aroma is incredible. This one is a crowd pleaser. Highly recommend this kit.
excellent flavor, wonderful aroma and mouthfeel. I highly recommend this kit. the Citra hops are a winner. thank you for putting together a great recipe.
Great brew for the summer. Lots of Citra but still incredibly drinkable
I'm new to brewing, started early in 2015. Probably around 15 or so 5 gallon extract brews under my belt so far. The "Citra Pale Ale" extract kit defiantly stands out above the rest for my tastes...This kit came out perfect! A very unique citrus profile that hits you in the nose and then plays around on your tongue for a while. One of my absolute favorites... I would compare this taste closer to a beginner level IPA for those looking experiment outside the boundaries of pale ale.
Awesome, the best so far! This will be in the top 2 rotation of repeats! Awe Yeah!
This is roughly around my 10th batch of home brew. I was a little nervous ordering a brew kit online vs. using the local home brew store. I have to say this is my favorite brew so far. I love the Citra hops and the aroma from the dry hopping is awesome. I did in the primary for 7 days and in the secondary for 10. Fermented with the Wyeast 1056 at 68 degrees then did at 72 for the last 3 days before cold crashing the last day. For those that love a Pale Ale, I promise this will become one of your favorites. I have a feeling it will taste even better in a couple of weeks. Hopefully I will still have some around!
I don't brew extract anymore but I love this Citra recipe and it was on a daily deal so what the heck!
This was an awesome pale ale with a hop that we love. The grapefruit flavor from the Citra hops is subtle enough not to distract from the malt. A very refreshing pale ale.
This is a solid brew, but I would suggest making it a little bit your own. Like most of the beer kits, I adjust them to my liking a little by adding or subtracting. Both the Citra IPA and the Citra Blonde made from this kit were stellar, while the regular Citra Pale was definitely good too.
This is by far, IMHO, the best recipe that MoreBeer has. This is one of my favorite recipes of all time. Thanks for another great product MoreBeer.
This was my first dry-hopped beer and it was great. A real crowd-pleaser as it has great aroma but not hop-stoopid bitterness. Very well balanced.I was skeptical of the dry yeast, but it worked out great as well.
I knew this was going to be a great smellin beer when I laid out the ingredients on brew day.wow,after I opened that first one,that citrusy aroma is what I crave in all my ipa brews.i even made a hop pillow w/citra,my wife loves it too.
He was so happy with this beer. The only reason he didn't buy it again was because it had sold out for awhile, and he decided to try some other styles. Super hoppy means he's super happy.
EXCELLENT!!! I purchased this kit back when it was a discount kit so it included dry yeast. It was only the 5th batch of beer I had ever brewed and on a whim decided to submit it to a local competition just to get some good feedback. I ended up getting third place in the pale ale category out of 34 entries in that category. WOW. I have since made this kit at least 1/2 dozen times and love it every time. A MUST BUY!
Loved this brew. I used the California V yeast and turned out beautiful. Everything I wanted with a pale ale. Cheers!
This kit has plenty of great Citra hop flavor and aroma. It is not overly bitter, but has that refreshing sourness that is perfect for a hot day.
I really liked this batch. So much so, I ended up buying 2 lbs of Citra hops in orig HopUnion package from a guy on HomeBrewTalk, and I just brewed the all grain equivalent.I'm no longer allowed to eat/drink grapefruit due to cholesterol drugs, but now I've found something even better.
I purchased this kit about two years ago when it first came out and it was about $25 with dry yeast and every person that had it absolutely loved it. I went back and tried to order it again and it was sold out for a couple months. When it was available again I order two more and everyone I serve it to was hooked. It has a grapefruit flavor, not overpowering just smooth relaxing summer beer. I keg my beer and with this one I keg conditioned it and let it sit for about 3-4 weeks at 68 degrees. This beer really benefits from a little aging, although I have to lie to everyone and tell them I don't have any or else they want me to force carb and pour it that weekend and its still really good.
