Hot Sauce Reviews

Hot Sauce is one of those things that even though it might be painful at first experience, you forget the pain quickly and want to do it again.  I can think of many other things that are like this but I will it to your own imagination.

 The following is list of the hot sauces I have tried and my opinion of them.  Please feel free to submit your own by mailing me at hotsauce@hotsaucehq.com

 Happy tasting!

 

African Rhino Peri-Peri Peppers Sauce

This comes in like 4 heat levels: Mild, Medium, Hot and Extra Hot.  I have tried the Mild and Hot and would say there really is only a slight difference in the heat difference.  That being said,  This is really a great sauce.  Peri-Peri chilli peppers which are used in this sauce can only be found in a small portion of the African coast and have a great flavor.  This sauce also has a Mesa type thickness to it that I like but I can’t figure out where it comes from as the ingredients don’t hint at it.  Try this sauce – You will be hooked.  The heat level is Low/Medium for up to the “Hot” version.

Blair’s Death Sauce

This is a great tasting sauce.  I like the slight chipolte flavor and the Lime/Cilantro flavors are just below the surface.   I like this one as an additive to Enchilada sauce or Chili. The heat level is Low/Medium.

Blair’s After Death Sauce

Well, definitely kicked up a few notches from the original!  This sauce needs to be used a bit more sparely but, I still LOVE it!  The only difference from the original is added pepper extract however; it’s a big heat difference!  The Heat Level is High/Medium

Bone Suckin’ Hiccupin’ Hot Sauce

Well, I love the Bone Suckin’ BBQ sauce so I was really looking forward to this one.  This sauce is a very close cousin to the BBQ sauce and reminds me of it with just more heat.  A good sauce to use in place of BBQ sauce on Hamburgers, Hot Dogs or French Fries.  The heat level is Low.

Busha Browne’s Hot Pepper Sauce

Where have I been hiding that I have not tasted this sauce before?  This sauce is very good and a bit hotter than the old standard Tabasco sauce out there.  Nice flavor and consistency.  The heat level is Medium.

Choula Hot Sauce

Well, it makes sense to me that Mexico would have a hot sauce or two!  This Mexican import is nicely done and nicely priced.  Even though Vinegar is the listed first ingredient I didn’t really taste it – as to say, it wasn’t overpowering.  The heat level is Low.

FrostBite Hot Sauce

Now this is unique! This is a clear sauce with an iridescence to it.  When looking at it in it’s clear bottle and seeing the glow it reminds you of a potion of some sort that I was at first, a little unsure if it was safe to digest.  But, my fears were allayed –This is a nice sauce.  It’s even water soluble to be an additive to other liquids!  I put a few drop in my Lemonade and fell in love with it.  It makes your lips a little numb which to me was a cool feeling (I could be strange that way I don’t know).  The hest level is Medium.

Goin’ Bananas Hot Sauce

I first though it was strange to see hot sauces with fruit flavors until I tried one!  Excellent! This sauce is so good that I use it to dip Tortilla chips in.  Try it – you’ll like it.  The heat level is Low

Great White Shark Predator Hot Sauce

OhMyGOd!!  I read the ingredients of this sauce and saw that it contained fruits like Papaya, Pineapple and Banana along with real fruit juices and though that the label warning me to use one drop at a time was just hype.  I was wrong!  This stuff almost killed me.  Please take heed of the warning!  The heat level is Higher the High.

Hog’s Ass Garlic Habenero Sauce

With a name like this you got to be good!  Having Garlic in the name  is appropriate because this sauce is loaded with it!  It’s hot but, I can take it.  I use this one often.  The heat level is High/Medium

Jim Beam Hot Sauce

I tried this sauce as a whim expecting it to be bland and to confirm my prejudicial beliefs that BBQ sauce companies should stay out of the Hot Sauce game.  It has changed my mind somewhat on that stance.  This is a good sauce and I can find it for cheap in my area which is a bonus.   I would recommend it.  The heat level is Low.

Joe Perry’s Rock your World Bone Yard Brew Sauce

Love the name.  The sauce is thicker that most hot sauces and definitely has a big chipotle flavor.  A little closer to BBQ sauce I would say and has a nice use of fresh tasting ingredients.  The heat level is Low/Medium

Joe Perry’s Mango Peach Tango Sauce

Another great name and good looking label (if your into that sort of thing).  Love this sauce!  Great as a dipping sauce with Chicken.

Mad Cat Hot sauce

This sauce is packed with the freshest tasting ingredients!  Great sauce.  One of my Favorites.  The heat level is Low/Medium

Mad Dog Liquid Fire hot sauce

This sauce was my first experience into the hot sauce world apart from the ol’ Tabasco bottle.  It taught me not to be afraid and to try new things.  I will always have a special place in my heart and refrigerator for this one.  Thanks for being so gentle and good!   The heat level is Low/Medium

Mountain Man Fire Roasted Habanero Sauce

Who came up with the name for this one?  With all the great names out there that’s the best you could do?  If  the name was a little better I bet you would have heard of this sauce because it is great!  I really like the roasted habeneros in this – adds terrific flavor.  The heat level is Medium.

Mountain Man Roasted Corn Garlic and Chipotle sauce

Well,  I really like the original Mountain Man sauce so I gave this one a try.  I’m glad I did! It’s now my favorite “chipotle” sauce.  The down side?  I can’t seem to purchase it anywhere – I will keep trying.  The heat level is Low/Medium

Orange Krush, the Habanero sauce

See?  Better name.  I don’t know what made me think I was ready for this sauce!  I guess I am getting too cocky.  It’s a good sauce and I like it but,  it takes me a day or two to recover.  The heat level is High/Medium

Scorned Woman Hot Sauce

I liked the name of this sauce and it’s tag line “Hell Hath No Fury Like A Scorned Woman” – I thought “oh this should be good”.  At first taste the Black pepper in this sauce is really pronounced and while checking the ingredients I see that it has like 5 different pepper in it.  I thought “this is not that hot of a sauce in the heat department but, I like the flavor”  and then like 20 seconds later the heat hit me like a bus!  This sauce deserves it’s tag line – watch out!  The heat level is a High.

Smack my Ass and call me Sally

With a name and label like this I just had to try it.  Good sauce,  nice flavor and my speed (about a 6 on the 1-10 scale) I  like the use of carrots in it.  Different.  The heat level is Medium

Smuggler's Run Pirate Hot Sauce

This just recently won a Scovie award so, I was anxious to give it a try.  I can see why it won an award.  This sauce has a simple list of ingredients with a great taste.  The sauce is packed with Scotch Bonnet pepper seeds, is a nice consistency and is HOT.  I think you’ll like it.  The heat level is High/Medium.

Snake Bite Habanero Hot Sauce

This is another 2005 Scovie award winner. Great packaging, comes with a little plastic snake and has a terrific name.  I liked it

Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce

Wow.  This sauce is awesome!  I can use this on anything.  It comes in a good size bottle and is cheap too.  Bonus!  Must be the sugar in it that I like.  The heat level is Medium

Whoopin’ Ass Chipotle Fire sauce

Great packaging of the bottle – worth it just for that.  The sauce is good but,  I little thin if you know what I mean.  Can be used liberally.  The heat level is Low
