“This is one of the sauces I always keep a bottle in my fridge. I am sensitive to hot sauces with overpowering flavors. I prefer versatile sauces that go well with things without overpowering them. Despite what some of the other people who reviewed this sauce saying, I really find this sauce flavorful but versatile. I love it. It is a keeper.”

“Good, but unique flavor. I can put most hot sauce on anything, but struggle with this. It's flavor can overpower a dish at times, not bad, but also not what I'm looking for in a sauce always. Heat is solid, not too hot.”

“I’m learning to use this one and starting to love it!!! The first time I tasted it was then other Hot One sauces that were hotter than this one. I’ll more than definitely buy it again.”

“This sauce was not for me. A bit too smokey with no real flavor. We did a hot ones challenge and this was the second most hated sauce. Had good heat but not my favorite by any means.”

“relatively spicy but not unpleasant. this was supposed to be the hottest one of the bunch that i ordered but it doesn't stand out too much. i can still enjoy it as a condiment. the taste is very rich and a bit smokey even. not 100% my alley but with some stuff it just goes really really well”

“I'm writing this after almost finishing the bottle. It's a tough review to write for some reason. My first impressions was that it's an okay sauce. Not something I'll buy again, but can appreciate it. And I could see how the Carolina Reaper pepper was once the hottest in the world. So now I was stuck with a sauce that was tough to get through. I couldn't use too much at a time because it was so hot, *and* I didn't like it all that much. The reason I didn't enjoy it as much was that it's a sauce that doesn't get out of the way. Its flavor is more of a centerpiece than an accent. If you like sauces like that, give this one a try. There's a richness to the flavor that I can see people enjoying. It's just not for me because I prefer sauces that don't smother the taste of the food under it. You can get around it by only applying tiny dabs, but that can be tough given how runny it is. When I was new to this sauce, I also felt that there was a hint of the kind of flavor they use in liquid medicine. That was probably the maple syrup in this sauce, and I very much got used to it. Just something to keep in mind. But over time, we became friends. I got used to the heat, and found that it pairs real well with a bagel and cream cheese (very frequent breakfast food for me). Eventually, I didn't mind it much. Now that I'm writing this review, I realize that it's probably not a sauce I'll buy again, but wouldn't mind if someone offered me a little.”

“It’s a delicious sauce with the the punch of heat but does have a sleight chemical taste like you would get from DaBomb sauce, all in all great sauce though”

“I get a lot of 6 sauces on heatonist, this is good but WAY hotter than a 6 for me (more like an 8). Has good flavor but the heat pushes it out if I use more than a few drops.”
