The Coney Island beers are all labeled and patterned after members of the Coney Island freak show. Last year when Sarah and I went there, we stopped in and watched the show. Really entertaining for what it was.
As for the beer, that is actually a pretty good beer. To get over the major hops aftertaste, make it a little colder and you won't get the strong aftertaste. When it is just right on temp you'll really catch the fennel and the orange peel. Though not so much as a taste as much as noticing it on the first breath after you swallow.
Obviously lighter the beer the more it passes along the various flavors in it including hops (and yes, hops are added to make beer have aroma and bitterness).
