“Heat without great flavor is not me. The chile de arbol chili is a great tasting chili.”

“The flavor was inoffensive and not overpowering. It didn't really make an impact on me. Maybe it's meant for broad appeal, but it didn't click for me.”

“Delicious. A little heat, nice tangy flavor. Warm but no burn. Direct dabs add a taster zing.”

“Excellent flavor! Perfect hot sauce for those not seeking the burn, yet love a quality spice. Replace your Tabasco or Louisiana hot sauce and you’ll never look back. Wish it was available in a larger bottle size.”

“It’s full of flavor, with not too much of a burn either. It’s so good I’ll dab a little on my eggs in the morning too, I can’t recommend any hot sauce more.”

“I would actually rate this at a 4.5/5. I am in the pizza business which means we make wings. Yes, I have used it on my wings. I love the sweet undertone to this sauce. It's different but very good. I love this sauce more on my Gordon Ramsay style scrambled eggs. This sauce was my first of many more to come. Thank you for all of you that created these sauces. I'm excited for this foodies journey down this hot sauce road.”

“The classic is objectively a "good" hot sauce, but I have to admit, I couldn't help but immediately compare it to the memory I have of their discontinued Fiery Chipotle sauce. And it comes nowhere near. In my opinion the blue label garlic version of the classic is quite a bit more interesting. The standard version is what I would define as a homemade - rich man's Tabasco. Good, not great.”

“Standard American hot sauce! I used it to marinate hit wings or to cook chili.”
