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.

Functional divider for windows privacy
Size: 8 Panel, Color: White, Size: 8 Panel, Color: White
I ordered both a six and eight panel version of the white divider. There was some confusion on the FedEx deliveries. The eight panel divider arrived at first, but Amazon showed both as delivered. I had to contact both the seller and Amazon to learn that the six panel divider was to arrive the following day by FedEx, which did occur. Both the boxes were a bit dirty and had some small punctures. This divider had a top area and bottom area set of plastic wrap tapes, both of which were loose or undone. (The eight panel divider was not so, and properly wrapped.) The top of thid divider looked a little dirty, but passable/cleanable. The seller should consider wrapping the entire product with bubble wrap to protect against potential delivery/shipping physical and water damage. (FedEx left the box by my outside door, which could have gotten potentially soaked in rain. One better be home to take delivery if the weather is bad.) This said, the divider was easy to set up, with all the metal hinges working. No assembly was required, just unboxing and standing up. The left side was a little uneven on the bottom with the first panel, but ok. In combination with my mini-blinds, it provides the additional layer of privacy I desired. I even don't notice outside headlights and tailights through the windows with my room lights on. Additionally, the divider is easy to adjust to allow access to my windows for opening and closing. So, no need for me to hang curtains and damage my drywall. Overall I give the product a C grade because of the lack of protection for the FedEx shipping. (As a former University told me years ago, "The A has been cheapened. In this class you will work for an A." And, I got a B. So, I am a bit jaded. :-)) Lastly, if one had cats and dogs, or even small children, the divider could be easy for them to topple over. I would not consider these dividerd in that case. My motto is, "Safety first."
