“It's allllll heat with Apollo! Could use a little more flavor, like the XX or the Reduxx had, but it's a great sauce. Hottest by far.”

“First of all heatonist is awesome for offering free shipping to APO addresses. It shipped fast even though we are in a remote deployed location. The heat comes on instantly not a slow build like the reduxx or xxx not only does it hit fast it hits HARD. We have wing Wednesday for chow here and this makes all of our week by enduring some pain while enjoying the flavor it adds to the wings. Flavor is on par with other last dabs, this one is a little more liquidy. Something about the apollo pepper is like death to the body, I can handle the heat it punches in the mouth and lips. But the digestion of it HURTS I'm talking lava shits, and multiple bouts. To sum it up. - Great flavor, with simple ingredients - heat comes on fast and hard - Free shipping to APO”

“It was good but the flavor was ok. XXX had a better flavor in my opinion but this one is good still in it's own way. Try it for sure you might like. I do recommend if you like spice. Also I made wings with it.”

“What can I say about last dab Apollo that hasn’t already been said? Vinegar based, pepper forward sauce. Very fruity and floral pepper. I wish Ed would release seeds, this will have to do for now. Slight sweetness, slightly sour, pleasant heat. The heat isn’t immediate but it isn’t as slow as a scorpion or reaper. About 10 seconds of build to the peak. Simple ingredients, just Apollo and vinegar. Tastes like a cross between a reaper and a scorpion, leaning more toward the scorpion but with about double the heat. Very smooth sauce, pours well. It is not chunky like a mash but is also not watery like a Tabasco, right in the middle. Good on everything but use sparingly. A little goes a long way but you won’t have this bottle for long.”

“This has some great heat but even better flavor. Use about half the bottle on my tuna sando. At $22 a bottle I made my $5 sando into a spicy $15 sando ha. Worth every dab. Need more of this golden heat. Thank you!!”
