“The sauce is probably the tastiest/hottest sauce combo, the last dab Apollo is great but the heat is quite insane where this just scratches that super hot itch with amazing flavor.”

“I have tried quite a few sauces from heatonist but what I found is that they either are unique but don't fit with many foods or they are perfect.”

“I got this sauce thrown in for free with a big batch delivery, and thought it was just the mildest Classic sauce. So I slathered up a wing and was ... surprised. This packs a punch! The good news is, after overloading on this sauce, the rest of the gauntlet was pretty easy (and tasty)! Yes, even the Last Dab Apollo.”

“The mistake that every hot sauce lover makes at least twice - Brand new hot sauce arrives and I was so excited to try it out. Did I pour a wee bit on my finger to test the spice level? Sure did not. Did I pour an unreasonable amount on a pile of Mac & Cheese? Sure did. I was in a rush so I ate the two cups of fiery, cheesy noods in less than 7 mins. As I try to coherently present an issue to a group at work, I realize that I made a huge mistake. I didn't test the heat. Instead, I consumed dairy laced molten lava and this presentation would have to wait. Great flavor for a superhot sauce. IT's not all lava. At the end of the day, I didn't get fired and found a new hot sauce. Win Win.”

“I wanted to like this hot sauce because the regular Classic is good but has no heat so I thought I’d give the newer hotter one a try. This hot sauce has a vinegary taste followed by a bad aftertaste. The heat level is good but the overall taste unfortunately was a big thumbs down.”

I’m so sorry this sauce wasn’t your cup of tea. We find it really sings on a hot chicken sandwich. Or if you'd like a suggestion for something more to your taste, send an email to ilovehotsauce@heatonist.com
