Berg & Hauck's Orange Bitters 4oz is a small-batch German orange bitters produced by Bitter Truth GmbH in Pullach, Bavaria, bottled at 39% ABV (78 proof). Created by bartenders Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck, this expression stands apart from mainstream orange bitters through a deliberate, slow maceration process and an ingredient list free of caramel coloring, dyes, or artificial additives. The result is a lean, focused bitters that foregrounds genuine bitter orange character backed by assertive spice.

Tasting Notes:

Aroma: Traditional marmalade leads the nose, followed by sweet cinnamon and nutmeg. Underneath, bergamot and tea leaf add an unusual layer of complexity that distinguishes this from straightforward citrus bitters.

Taste: Cardamom and caraway arrive immediately on the palate, delivering a bold, almost aquavit-like spice impression. The mid-palate fills with bitter calamondin orange, orris root, and a burst of gentian-driven bitterness. As the flavor develops, the spice recedes and genuine orange peel oil takes center stage.

Finish: The finish is medium in length, marked by lingering orange peel oil and a dry, herbaceous bitterness. Clove notes persist and add warmth, though they can assert themselves firmly in the final moments.

How to Drink Berg & Hauck's Orange Bitters:

These bitters excel as a cocktail modifier where you want orange depth without sweetness or artificiality. Two to three dashes in an Old Fashioned bring a spice-forward orange element that complements aged bourbon or rye. In a Dry Martini, a single dash adds botanical complexity that bridges gin and dry vermouth. They also work exceptionally well in a Blood and Sand, where the caraway and cardamom notes amplify the Scotch backbone while the orange character ties together the cherry and citrus components.

Best For:

  • Home bartenders building a serious bitters collection
  • Upgrading classic stirred cocktails like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned
  • Professional bar programs seeking craft-level cocktail ingredients
  • Gifting to cocktail enthusiasts who appreciate artisanal bar tools

Frequently Asked Questions:

What does Berg & Hauck's Orange Bitters taste like? Expect bitter orange peel, bold cardamom, and caraway spice with a marmalade-like nose and a dry, herbaceous finish. The overall profile is lean and focused rather than heavily sweetened.

How does Berg & Hauck's Orange Bitters compare to Regans' Orange Bitters No. 6? Berg & Hauck's delivers a more singular, spice-driven orange profile with pronounced cardamom and caraway, while Regans' No. 6 tends toward a broader, more straightforwardly citrus-forward flavor. The slow four-week maceration in Berg & Hauck's also yields a drier, less syrupy body than Regans'.

Is Berg & Hauck's Orange Bitters good for beginners? Yes, the 4oz bottle is a low-commitment entry point into quality bitters, and two to three dashes in a simple Old Fashioned will immediately demonstrate the difference craft bitters make in a drink.

Where is Berg & Hauck's Orange Bitters made? They are produced by Bitter Truth GmbH in Pullach, a town in the Bavarian alpine region of Germany. Orange oil, bitter orange peel, cardamom, caraway, and coriander are macerated in natural grain spirit for four weeks before straining, diluting, and bottling.

What foods pair well with Berg & Hauck's Orange Bitters? Add a few dashes to sauces for duck or pork to introduce citrus-spice depth. They complement dark chocolate desserts, marmalade-glazed dishes, roasted root vegetables with warm spices, and charcuterie boards featuring aged cheeses.

Why Buy Berg & Hauck's?

Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck are working bartenders who formulated their bitters line to fill gaps they identified behind the bar — a perspective that shapes every recipe in the range. The production method relies on a four-week slow maceration of carefully selected botanicals in small batches, with no caramel, dyes, or artificial flavor shortcuts. Spirits Review called it "a minimalist, lean, but excellent orange bitters," a description that captures its design philosophy precisely. At 39% ABV, it carries enough strength to integrate cleanly into cocktails without diluting the drink's proof or structure.

Works good but have only tried it on fine setting.
Works good but should have an overall cap as seasoning gathers around the inside.
