“Best tasting hot sauce on the site! (Of the 15 I tried). The heat level is probably closer to 4 or 5...especially because you will crave a generous amount. But it takes a while for it to kick in. Shake well before every use, as this one is oil-based. It will mix to a nice consistency. There are several flavor profiles that hit in sequence: sweet, smokey, and then a comfortable burn. If I could get more than 5 oz, this would be a go-to for pizza, wings, tacos, and almost anything else.”

“The first time I tasted this sauce, it instantly became my new favorite. My eye brows went up, my lips curled upwards into a smile, and an audible “oooo” escaped from my mouth. Don’t let the oil base deter you. Shake it up, pour, and enjoy.”

“The numbers on the side over there say 2/10. Yet, by the time I was halfway through my batch of wings I put this on, I was blowing my nose and grabbing some water like it was a 7/10. No, it's certainly not like The Last Dab XXX, but it's definitely hotter than The Classic or even Hearbeat Pineapple (though, I'm not sure why that one's listed at 4/10 either). But I digress: this sauce is a lot hotter, I found, than advertised. As for the flavor, it was alright. A couple other people mention that it's more a marinade than a sauce, and I'd be inclined to agree. Having it on wings was mediocre. I feel that putting this in with a pork roast to slow-cook for a day would be more ideal. or leave some chicken in it overnight before putting it on the grill. Both of those would be better uses than just as a finishing sauce on food. I'm sure either of those applications is how I'll finish up my bottle.”

“Creamy yet satisfying. The chili oil really gave it a nice kick, a sauce you really have to shake up to get the full flavor out of. As mild sauces go it rates pretty high on my list. I found myself putting it on everything, it seamed like such a versatile sauce, I didn't realize how fast I was going through the bottle. When I hit the bottom I felt kinda sad; like the feeling when you get off a roller coaster you really enjoyed but you know its impossible to ride again because the lines are too long. You know what I mean?”

“The first ingredient is corn oil, and it is very oily in mouthfeel. I used it as a dip for samosas, and that worked out fine, but my personal preference is toward cleaner sauces. If you don't mind oily, give it a try. The flavors are solid.”

“This is an oil based sauce. It takes a lot of shaking for it to be uniform, but aside from that it is very good. It has a unique flavor that I really enjoy. I just add the disclaimer about it being oil based because most sauces are not oil based and folks may not want that.”

“This sauce is simply fantastic. The heat is incredibly mild, but the taste is absolutely one of the best. I put it on veggies, nachos, baked chicken...really anything that I want to bring up a few notches. Good introductory hot sauce for those that are a little less bold, but this is a "must have" for anyone that likes a good, zesty flavor. This was a hit at the "hot sauce" challenge day I had at work. Buy it! Buy two!!!”
