“This sauce has a great flavor to it. The lime is very noticeable right away. What is also very noticeable right away, the heat. This is a quick burn that seems to fade relatively quickly. Just when you think it is gone, it makes its way back around and starts to burn everything, especially your lips. It's not a lingering heat like some, but it is now going to be my go to taco sauce. Hot hot heat and good flavor. Another winner!”

“I found this to be hot and smokey (ok, really hot, I'm no hero), but I did find the flavor once I stopped sweating. I found it more tolerable mixed with some blue cheese for dipping plain wings into, and while it's still not a completely enjoyable experience, I keep coming back for more like some kind of masochist. Send help. Or more sauce.”

“Classic and Brain Burner are bottom of faves from Hot Ones/Heatonist. This one is sour (vinegary) and bitter. The flavor reminds me of previous #9 sauces on the show past seasons. This will be good to spice up noodles or add a kick to bland chicken soup.”

“I am not a huge hot sauce guy, to be honest, but I enjoy the Hot Ones show and I like to torture myself every now and then. This sauce has good flavor and the heat starts pretty quickly. I put a little dollop on a wing Last Dab style and went at it. Burned pretty good for a bout five to ten minutes with a large glass of milk. Overall, pretty good for someone with little hot sauce experience like myself.”

“This sauce has some good heat but flavor wise this isn't my cup of tea. I think others will love this sauce, but of the 3 in the new box this one isn't really to my taste.”

“Nice and tangy, perfect heat. It's that sauce that sits before the cliff of something like the Last Dab XXX. Totally doable without letting you forget that you're eating some fairly intense hot sauce. Love the flavor.”
