Watching Hot Ones, I saw The Classic get great reviews despite being a relatively mild sauce. When the Garlic Fresno edition came out, I jumped at the chance to try it. Partially due to the difficulty of getting the original Classic, but also due to my love of garlic. In trying the Garlic Fresno, I was a little disappointed as I feel the garlic dominates the rest of the flavors. Maybe its the vinegar as well, but its hard to tell with that dominating garlic. I'm curious how the original Classic compares to this one. Full disclosure: in trying sauces, I'm mainly looking for something as a topping or condiment, I put hot sauce on alot of things.

i wanted to pick up a flavorful hotsauce that was more on the mild side to gift to a friend. and this garlic one did not disappoint!!! most mild flavors i find aren't that flavorful, but this one was definitely really tasty. I could put this hot sauce on anything really. It has a sort of kick at the end, so it is still spicy. but my friend who can't handle spicy said that that this spiciness was managable.

Fantastic flavor. Versatile and can be used on anything. Would even make a flip-flop taste good!

Tasty sauce. No shortage of garlic flavor! Not too spicy, but enough kick to let you know it cares. Great on eggs, potatoes or fish tacos.

This sauce packs a lot more punch than I expected for being the #1 sauce on the Hot Ones lineup. It's delicious and the garlic is turned up to 11. I use this sauce mostly for breakfast as it is one of the absolute best hot sauces to combine with eggs, breakfast hash, etc. Will 100% be purchasing again.

I got this sauce in the monthly subscription and went through it in two days. I loved it so much I proceeded to buy 5 more bottles. The heat is just enough to register, but the flavor is off the charts.

This has the lovely hint of low-level heat and savory flavor of the original Classic with a pronounced garlic kick. It's absolutely brilliant on noodles, vegan chick'n nuggs, stir frys...anything that needs a little bit of zestiness! I must always have a bottle in my possession or I'll be sad.
