I like hot sauce and thought that I would give this one a whirl. It certainly is hot, but not so hot that you finish up in casualty. It isn’t just hot, it also has a nice almost fruity flavour and a sort of floral aroma. I am not suggesting that you use lashings of it like tomato sauce, but used with reasonable moderation, it is delicious. Having said that, I enjoy Phall curries, so my idea of “not that hot”, may not be reliable (I may have melted my taste buds, years ago :-).

You get what you expect from this little bottle of pain.The first thing I noticed was the smell, I didn’t expect to be greeted by what (if I was blind folled) I would swear is a much of expensive flowers, the smell was beautiful something I didn’t expect to find from a hot sauce.The sauce is nice and thick, the taste is good too but not outstandingThe important part, the pain: I place two drops of the sauce not large drops just enough to see them on an unsalted chip, I ate it and at first there didn’t seems to be any reaction but about 5-10 seconds later the burn set it, it felt like the forward half of my taste buds were on fire!I was a glorious burn it lasted about 3-5 minutes and the best advice is “less is more” because if you put more on your whole mouth will be on fire!Oh and avoid water to drink, it’ll make it WORSE use milk that’ll help.

This sauce was far hotter than I expected for sure, but to me that's not really a huge negative as I did buy a hot sauce after all. For me, the flavour could be a little better. There's literally only 3 ingredients and I while I do appreciate that the motto here is less is more, I feel like this sauce could do with a little sweetening. There is a strong vinegar taste, which is not surprising as over 50% of the contents are likely vinegar.Overall it's a pretty good sauce, but I feel it could be better. It's very hot so I'll probably use very sparingly or mix with other sauces.Edit: A note on the flavour, as I am now a little further into the bottle. It's actually really fruity when I had it today, it was a very welcome surprise and I enjoyed it. It's still much too hot for me though but I will persevere.2nd Edit: I have now become accustomed to the heat and use this sauce pretty much all the time. It's actually become one of my favourite sauces and now I find other hot sauces lacking in heat sometimes.

This is pretty hot , I usually stick to the scotch bonnet type sauces or normal siracha but this is a big step up , really really tasty on wings , made my eyes water , not for the faint hearted

Very nice fruity flavour, similar to Marie sharps original hot sauce but a good bit hotter. Been looking for a daily hot sauce and this fits the bill, hot but not over the top like some although it's all relative and I do have a spice tolerance. Will be stocking up on this one

It’s super yummy and hot!!! And fruity too, has like a Smokey flavour. And just 3 ingredients nothing artificial or bad.

Initially, its only a slight heat which eventually builds up in your mouth. I do like the flavour and consistency though. Definitely keen to try out the full range of sauces in this brand.In terms of value, there are better alternatives for less. But its a little hobby of mine to try out chilli sauces.

Nice amount of heat, full of flavour. Brilliant value for money compared to some other pricey sauces.
