“WARNING!! Unless you have a high tolerance for hot sauce, use very little if you are trying for the first time. The pepper used in this hot sauce is EXTREMELY HOT! Personally speaking I don't get much flavor other than immediate heat, then it grew more. And more. And more. With that said, I have revisited eating this sauce and has gotten less hot, but still the hottest thing I've eaten.”

“Food: I put this on everything, tacos obviously, egg sandwiches or any sandwich, chicken, anything that’s bland or boring Kick: definitely an 11 out of 10 for sure, do not recommend eating during lunch if you have a zoom meeting afterwards, your lips will be burning for a while Sweat: I don’t sweat when I eat spicy food but I do blow my nose a lot”

“If you're looking for a sauce to kick you in the mouth, and turn ordinary food into a furnace of flavor, this is it! Since watching Hot Ones I've gone from a lover of spice to a seeker of superhots, so it was a must that I try the Last Dab Apollo. My wife and I took our first taste on a spoon, and while she went into a panic mode, I was in a heaven of heat! This one is HOT. The only ingredients are the Apollo pepper in different forms (mash, powder and distillate) and vinegar. That's it! It's a very pepper forward sauce which is fine by me, because I want the closest thing to the experience of the pepper. I happen to like the flavor, but I don't know that I would recommend based on the flavor. A sauce like Torchbearer's Garlic Reaper or Jekyll & Hydes 13 Angry Scorpions, for instance, has much more flavor. But if you're a chilli head chasing heat, I cannot recommend this one enough! I've heard that the Apollo pepper is a cross between Ed Curry's Carolina Reaper and Pepper X, just to give you a sense of where the heat is gonna be with this sauce. My bottle is a medium thickness and it pours faster than what I've seen on Hot Ones, so be careful when applying to your bite! I love this one.”

“Very hot but not bomb or 357 level. Pretty good flavor better for cooking than most as it is very thin and easy to regulate”

“Great sauce! In my opinion, this is the best "last dab" to date. I really liked the XXX, but the Apollo has an even better flavor. The heat is very good and not too long-lasting. This is an excellent product. Bravo!”
