“Definitely hotter than the constrictor sauce. Could use a few more seeds for that last kick but hot enough to put a hole in your stomach. Great flavor and leaves your mouth tingling for some time. Went straight to my hernia the first time I tried it. But will eat it everyday if I want too.”

“Spicy, definitely spicier than XXX, but not much if any spicier than Constrictor. Not as complex and delicious as XXX. Very surprised at how liquid this is... not nearly as viscous as XXX or Constrictor or very hot sauces. This hear is not overwhelming like an extract sauce. I wonder if this were more viscous it would be noticeably hotter than Constrictor?”

“Wow...I mean, just wow. Not my favorite flavor necessarily, but a really wild ride. I had maybe a teaspoon and for the first 3-5 seconds it was really bright and sweet. This did not last long...The pain quickly started to build, and, just wow! I love super hot sauces, but this one brought tears to my eyes and even made my ears hurt a little in a weird way. I’m not sure I’ll use this much on its own, but it would be amazing mixed into chili or into some BBQ sauce for extra kick. It also seems like the sweetness would pair well with breakfast. Definitely worth picking up a bottle to check out!”

“Just got this in my October box and I have to tell you, its one of the hottest sauces I've ever tried next to The Constrictor. It was almost sweet for the first .0005 seconds, and then it hits you. Pure unadulterated heat that will make you sweat and cry and die and then you return to a euphoric normal. Unreal. Absolutely Unreal”

“Took the dive on the October box. I love me some Cholula sauce and figured I try the Appollo today for dinner. Dipped a piece of steak in this sauce and almost immediately after I took the bite it felt like a massage of razor blades tickling my tounge. The heat continued to build. Couldn't really describe the taste after the first bite but the rush was enjoyable.”

“I put it on my breakfast burrito earlier, just had it on some poki for lunch. It is BONKERS hot, but delicious! The unique flavor of the peppers comes through the devastating heat, with an almost floral aftertaste as you come back from the mind-bending experience. I'm totally stoked! This Hot Ones subscription is waaaaay worth it.”
