Chilli sauce reviews

[PoppieChoffel]

Link to the website for the subscription bud, I do like a good hot sauce and would be keen on subscribing

These guys popped up in my IG feed recently and I'm likely going to give them a go. Bimonthly and the offerings so far look good.

We're amassing sauces faster than we can use them, so it's a tempting switch.

There's a Woolworths by me that sells a Grim Reaper Fermented Carolina Reaper sauce.

Not worth the money at all. Heavily diluted because it was very mild from what I was expecting. No flavor, just vinegar and heat.

Mr Pukka at spar used to be a good sauce back when he was still doing markets in CPT but now that he has gone "commercial" the sauce is just not that good anymore.

Johnnie Hexburg is about the only brand I've had that I enjoyed but have now just gone full home made.

We got a Mr Pukka in one of our sub boxes and it's bloody awful. Almost convinced it's off.

 

[PoppieChoffel]

Agreed. Tabasco is meh compared to this.

@PoppieChoffel What's the hottest sauce you've bought? Something above habenero...

I have no idea wtf is in this, but it's murder. Zero flavour, total burn (for me). Not a fan.

Chilli Fiction, Mascoville and Literature sauces (all cpt based if memory serves) all have amazing sauces.

Yeah, I did not enjoy my last one either. Actually think I threw it away, possibly for the same reason as well now that you mention it.

I've subbed. Hoping to get some nice sauces for future recipe ideas.

Revo Sauce Grim Reaper 250ml

That's the reaper sauce I'm talking about. Dogs Bollocks

Yeah I'm not too impressed with this brand after tasting the Espresso one. Zero coffee taste in flavour profile,seems more like a gimmick than an actual flavour.

They have a mint chili that intrigues me though, and mango Habanero, so haven't written them off yet.

Shot for the link. Those sauces look tempting and the sub is decently priced

 

[PoppieChoffel]

They've even got a hotter version of the Crystal. Nice.

We have this, it's not super hot. The 13yo handles just fine. Great flavour as well, just like the regular.

So jelly. Not of the dabomb though, all the hot ones I've seen with it say it's all heat and that's it.

I've told my friends when they go to US that if they do not come back with the last dab they are fired.

Wil do a mini review when i do open them

I don't think my wife would like it if I bought (or made) anymore sauces. There are already enough in the fridge.

Pizza perfect makes a lovely chilli sauce for on pizzas. Not too hot and some nice herb flavours.

Garlic? Ginger? Sounds expensive!
Just joking.

I'm intrigued. Stocked at any supermarkets?

Now that's a good way to handle criticism indeed

But honestly not necessary lovely folks, I will happily pay for it, it is one I'm interested in. I've popped you a mail.

So my sub arrived today.

I can get the espresso in the Revo sauce but it's not a distrinct coffee flavor. The garlic comes across more prominent, so perhaps overpowers the espresso, just enough to alter the flavor. It sought of reminds me of taking a sip of coffee after having eggs on taste with chilli sauce. I would prefer it have less garlic in it.

It's got a nice heat that just tickles the tongue... a good every day chilli sauce. Consistency is similar to tabasco.
