“Wanna know why I HATE this sauce?? There's not enough!! It's not as thick as the other sauces and I found that out the hard with the first and unintentional generous pour. The flavor is amazing...I brought it to work to step up my lunch game, but it wasn't long before my colleagues depleted the bottle. I'll admit this once...I shamelessly brought the bottle home to lick the residue off of the opening. For $12 amongst a sea of justifiably pricey bottles, it's possibly the greatest deal that Heatonist has to offer. BUY IT!”

“Love the hot sauce so much after first taste I wanted more things to put it on, the only bummer is it doesn’t come in a BIGGER bottle!! The sweetness and spicy kick pairs well lots of different foods, can’t get enough!”

“While this sauce has a more limited scope in terms of types of food to use it with (IMHO), it is amazing. Great flavor and texture. It does not “blow your head off” by any means, but has a good amount of heat. I am not sure about using it on wings, but for anything Mexican, Latin, Spanish, etc. it is awesome. As per my review of The Classic, the bottle and pouring mechanism is wrong. It should be swapped with The Classic bottle. I accidentally poured out a quarter of the bottle during my first usage because the consistency is loose and the bottle nozzle is wide open. However, absolutely zero complaints about the product. Between this one and The Classic, I purged 3 bottles of other hot sauce from my pantry. I will be buying anything else the Hot Ones team produces with Heatonist. Please bring back the Fiery Chipotle!! I never had the pleasure of trying it.”

“Was very excited to see it in my mailbox and I admit I was disappointed when I dipped my finger in the bottle to taste it. It has a sweet salsa verde taste to it. So the next morning I decided to embrace the L and I tried it with some breakfast steak and let me tell y’all.. I wasn’t ready. The heat truly hit me this time. Careful getting it on your lips by the way, they can’t handle what your mouth can! That being said, the sauce is not too hot and not too mild either. Perfectly spicy (in my opinion). It starts off sweet and then hits you with some heat i love that I look forward to trying out the other ones! I love it!”

“Wonderful mix of spice with an awesome flavour profile. Removing one star because I can't find any heat in it. Should not be called a "hot sauce". It's a tasty pepper and cumin sauce. I order it all the time anyway. Make any bland food taste awesome.”

“It would be better if it were at a lower price for the size of the bottle. I justify the other products' price based on their heat. This one taste too good to not use it a lot. They need to just put out a bigger bottle because this one is used, by myself, more than the other really hot sauces -- especially when I am working (lunch, or for an easy dinner with friends). It is an excellent choice in a flavorful, Western sauce that can go on anything.”

“Sauce is good on pretty much anything, plenty of spice and very flavorful! the only reason i wont rate this a 5 star is because the HOt ONes Chipotle Habanero was better.”
