More Beer M-80 IPA extract kit Q's

[BugDude]

Wondering if anyone has brewed this beer before. I purchased it a while back but did not know that it called for an addition of Oranges.

I'm not into adding fruit and I'm honestly scared to do it lol. I want to know if anyone has brewed this without adding the oranges and if so, how it turned out.

I have not brewed this kid, but if you're against adding whole oranges, you could try just orange zest (remember - no pith). One of my students this semester brewed a DIPA with a fair amount of grapefruit zest and it was outstanding.
