Better than the original classic, and I love the original. This has such a good flavor.

Excellent sauce, very mild but extremely flavourful.

Excellent flavor, but not super distinct from the original Classic. Honestly, if you hadn’t told us it was a new mixture I probably wouldn’t have noticed. Great heat, great flavor.

I was sad that the original was wait listed, but excited to receive this gem. This is a great sauce to compliment just about anything. My hubby loves it. Not enough heat for me (I'm more a fan of los calientes heat), but perfect to add a bit of flavor without much kick.

Having sampled most varieties of the Hot Ones sauces I have to say this sauce, while not terribly hot, is my new favorite. Its absolutely delicious. When they say "garlic" they mean it. This sauce is absolutely brimming with minced garlic! It has a warm, smokey, sweetness to it that isn't overwhelmed by heat. Although its mild it isn't too mild. Its just right.

I was back home at the parents house for a month quarantining, and we introduced them to Hot Ones, starting with the Wanda Sykes and Tenacious D Episodes, along with the Classic Garlic Fresno Edition Hot Sauce which arrived via the USPS. My parents neighbor, Noel thanks for asking, has a tomato garden, he’s from Ireland and grows each tomato with love, sunshine and a genuine positive outlook on life. Each morning we'd start the day off with eggs on a bagel, cause NY, with a drizzle of the CGFEHS #CFFEHS, along with said sliced tomato, also lightly drizzled with the CGFEHS. The garlic sweetness mixed with the mild heat of the hot sauce really paired well the tomatoes, becoming a now favorite muring treat. We went through the bottle in about 4 days, mostly because we (ok I) put it on every vegetable at every meal. While I don’t suggest doing that necessarily, I would like to suggest that broccoli becomes something of a real treat rather than a real horror on your plate. To be clear, I don’t like broccoli, and never will, but I love this hot sauce and I ate some broccoli this trip. My nephew did as well, but he's like 5, so no hot sauce, but prolly more of the hero in this hot sauce story. It’s worth noting that my mom wouldn’t try it as she had ’no interest in that stuff, please stop it, get that away from me, would you stop what are you 11?” but she did say it smelled like it was good, which it was.You can’t please everyone. My sister in law, however, who never had a drop of hot sauce in her life that she could recall is now a convert based on the overall deliciousness of the CGFEHS, so job well done. I got my girlfriend the Hot Ones box with the last dab in it for her birthday, so looking forward to crying about that while my mother laughs from the couch. I’m 40.

This is amazing on everything. Highly suggest!!! The flavor profile of this hot sauce is unlike anything else I’ve ever had.

If you like The Classic, and who doesn't, then you will probably like this sauce as well. I personally love garlic and this sauce hits with the garlic!
