Heartbeat was one of my first forays into "outside the box" hot sauces. My heat preference is much higher now so I'm pleased they've come up with something hotter. It's still not very hot for a chilehead but it has Heartbeat's signature fresh flavor and perfect consistency. And, as another reviewer noted, is highly slatherable.

Got this in a monthly box and really loved it. Hot, but not abusive. Goes well as a taco sauce with the squeeze bottle. I'll buy this again.

I give it a 6/10 on heat scale, 9/10 for taste, for a total of 9.7/10 on awesomeness. Bc too hot is like goin into something with no safe word. You better prepare for pain and anguish for next 8-12 hrs one way or another.

I put this sauce on anything. Pizza, tacos, stir fry, chicken. Just an all-around tasty sauce!

I love superhots and handle them well. But other times you want something with less kick so that you can really slather it on. However, some sauces that you slather on don't really have enough kick to satisfy the spiciness level for those of us that love the really hot stuff. This is that perfect middle ground. It's gonna be quite hot especially for those that don't love spicy stuff, but for those that do this still packs a decent enough punch, but isn't a superhots so you can lay it on thick. Plus the sauce is sooooo flavorful. I'm assuming it's the chiles in adobo and other spices combined but my God this really is one of the tastiest hot sauces I've ever had, plus squirt bottle. I'd highly recommend it

Got this lovely gem in the September subscription box. This sauce is, in a word, perfect. The flavor is complex and the definition of umami. The texture is silky. The heat level is perfect for an everyday sauce. My bottle is almost empty. I’ve been using it on everyyyyyything. Try this on some poached eggs on top of a good hash. Life changing.

I freaking *love* this sauce. It was recommended to me from a friend who got it in their Hot Ones subscription. Wow I am happy I purchased it. The heat is definitely there, but it's not too intense. Heat *perfectly* compliments the phenomenal flavors. Incredibly delicious. I'll absolutely be buying more.

The flavor of this sauce makes me think of Mexican food. The "Chipotles in adobo" ingredient is likely the main reason. It's very tasty but just a little too hot for me. I want to put twice as much sauce on each bite to get the amount of flavor I want, but that's too hot, for my breakfast burrito anyway, which has some hot peppers cooked into it. The flavor makes me think this sauce would be good all over a dish like enchiladas. One other problem with this sauce is the bottle. While the squeeze bottle technology is nice, the size of the nozzle is too small for some of the solid pieces in the sauce, causing blockage. Squeezing harder clears the blockage but can cause too much sauce to be dispensed.
