McCoy’s Thick Hot Irish Sauce (THIS)

8 October 2011 | No Comments » | Hot Sauce Guru


McCoy’s THIS sauce, which stands for Thick Hot Irish Sauce fits the description pretty well. I am not very familiar with Irish sauces, but I will take their word for it, the sauce is quite thick and has a very small amount of heat. This is a great sauce for someone looking for some variation to their condiments if they can’t handle spicy. The sauce is very similar to a spicy ketchup. The flavor of THIS sauce is better than ketchup, hands down and THIS sauce is also more spicy than ketchup, but not by much. This sauce was great on Burgers and french fries. I am rating this hot sauce a 1 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Dinosaur’s Devil’s Duel Fiendishly Hot Habanero Hot Sauce

8 October 2011 | No Comments » | Hot Sauce Guru


This hot sauce had a mediocre taste with hints of habanero. I only noticed a small amount of heat from the habanero peppers. There was nothing that jumped out at me as unique about this sauce. I am rating this sauce a 3 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Heartbreaking Dawns Classic Gold Hot Sauce

7 May 2011 | No Comments » | Hot Sauce Guru

Mike: Heartbreaking Dawns Classic Gold Hot Sauce has a great flavor, that is if you like a sweet hot sauce. This hot sauce tastes very versatile as it would go well with most meats. This is not the type of hot sauce you would think of first for chips, but you may enjoy the sauce on chips too. The hot sauce has a little bit of heat, I am rating this sauce a 4 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh: I really liked the taste of this hot sauce and could definitely see eating this hot sauce on pork. I think pork is the perfect fit for this hot sauce. I thought this hot sauce had a decent amount of heat and I am rating this sauce a 5 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Tom’s Hot Sauce, Kickflip Fire

18 April 2011 | 1 Comment » | Hot Sauce Guru

Mike:  Tom’s Hot Sauce, Kickflip Fire is a thin sauce with an orange color. The hot sauce has a great lime, habanero pepper flavor just like the “old man medium” version.     This hot sauce was supposed to be a little spicier than the “old man medium”.  I didn’t think this sauce was any spicier, what I did notice was that this sauce had a stronger lime taste.   This sauce was very good just like the previous sauce.  I am rating this hot sauce a 4 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh:  I felt that Tom’s Hot Sauce, Kickflip Fire was a good hot sauce.  The hot sauce packed some heat and I loved the flavor just as much as I like the “old man medium” sauce.   I am rating this sauce a 5 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Naga Jolokia Hot Sauce Samples

13 March 2011 | No Comments » | Hot Sauce Guru


These sauce samples were sent to us from Golden Toad Hot Sauces.  They are coming out with a new sauce and narrowed the recipe down to these two versions.  They asked us for our opinion on the sauces. They decided on their final recipe and launched their new hot sauce containing the Naga Jolokia Pepper and Habanero Peppers.  The new sauce is under Xtinction Sauces.  You can email me at hotsauceguru@gmail.com to get your own bottle of this sauce now!

Mike:  I definitely enjoyed the hotter version of the hot sauce better.   I was leaning towards that sauce on the initial trial and afterwards I sampled both sauces on various foods including eggs every morning until the samples were gone.   This hot sauce has a slightly similar tasted to some Habanero hot sauces I have tried.  This hot sauce has a great flavor and a good amount of heat!  I am looking forward to sampling the final product, I know it will be awesome.  I am rating this sauce a 7 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh:  I liked the second hot sauce better than the first.  This hot sauce is very spicy, but it still has a good flavor.  Although I liked the flavor of this hot sauce, it is a little too spicy for me to eat on a regular basis.  I am rating this hot sauce an 8 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Screamin Peaches Hot Sauce

1 December 2010 | 1 Comment » | Hot Sauce Guru

 

Mike:  Screamin Peaches Hot Sauce is  produced by Sweet Life Sauce Company.    This is an orangish colored hot sauce with a thin consistency.   I did not notice a distinct peach taste, but the hot sauce was quite sweet.   You will notice the sting from the peppers almost immediately and it disapates just as quickly.  This sauce would probably be good on chicken and possibly fish.   I am rating this sauce a 4 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh:  Screamin Peaches Hot Sauce was not as spicy as I thought it would be, the label made the sauce seem very intimidating.  The hot sauce did have a good sweet taste and it definitely did have some heat, but the heat went away quickly.   I am rating this hot sauce a 4 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh:  I thought that this hot sauce had a decent flavor and a good amount of heat.  The hot sauce has a little bit of a sweet hint to it.  The heat caught me off guard, it hit the back of my throat almost instantly.  I am rating this hot sauce a 6 out of 10 on the heat scale.
