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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mike:  Gunther’s Gourmet Fiery Cranberry Habanero Salsa has a pretty good flavor with a typical salsa consistency.  The sauce has a tomato flavor with a hint of cranberry which is unique.  You would never guess there is Habanero peppers in this sauce by the taste or the heat.  I am rating this salsa a 2 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh:  I liked the flavor of Gunther’s Gourmet Fiery Cranberry Habanero Salsa, although I did not taste any cranberry.   I did not think the salsa had very much heat so I am surprised that they put a warning label on the jar.  I am rating this salsa a 2 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Mike:  Spittin Fire Hot Sauce from Sizzlin Sauces has an orangish color and a little texture to the sauce.  This hot sauce has some small chunks in the sauce.  Spittin Fire Hot Sauce is one of Sizzlin Sauces’ regular hot sauces.  They also have another version of this sauce that is supposed to be hotter and has XXX on the label.  This hot sauce had more heat than I had expected so I am looking forward to sampling the XXX.  This sauce also had a very good flavor and would go very well with chips, chicken, and eggs.  The habanero pepper flavor is very subtle in this hot sauce and the garlic is much more noticeable.  I am rating this sauce a 5 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh:  Spittin Fire Hot Sauce contained more heat than what I had expected.  I liked the flavor of this habanero hot sauce, but the heat was definitely surprising.  I think this hot sauce would go great on chicken or any type of meat.  Sizzlin Sauces has many other sauces including some spicier ones that we will be sampling in the near future, stay tuned!  I am rating this hot sauce a 6 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Mike:  Firie Habanero Hot Sauce has a smokey aroma, is brownish orange in color and has a thin consistency.  The first flavors that you notice are the habanero pepper, mango, and smokey flavor and you are left with a smokey after taste.  This sauce is good on chips, fish, and chicken.  The sauce does have a decent amount of heat to it also.  I am rating this sauce a 4 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh:  Firie Habanero Hot Sauce is brought to you by Smoking J’s Hot Sauce Company and is one of their first sauces.  I enjoyed the smoked habanero pepper taste in the sauce and the hint of mango.  The hot sauce did have a decent amount of heat that seemed to linger in the back of my throat for quite some time.  This hot sauce would be great on meat, eggs, etc.  I am rating this hot sauce a 5 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Mike:  Tom’s Hot Sauce, Old Man Medium is a thin sauce with an orange color. The hot sauce has a great lime, habanero pepper flavor.     This hot sauce was very good on chips and eggs.  This hot sauce  had more heat than I had anticipated since the label says old man medium, someone who is not used to hot sauce would find this sauce to be very spicy.  I am rating this hot sauce a 4 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh:  I felt that Tom’s Hot Sauce, Old Man Medium was a good review.  The hot sauce packed a little heat and I loved the flavor.  Tom’s Old Man Medium had a lime flavor in it, which gave the hot sauce pleanty of flavor to enjoy.   I can’t wait to try this on various foods because I feel this hot sauce will be good on almost anything.  Yet another habanero pepper hot sauce that I enjoyed and this one is near the top of my favorites.  I am rating this sauce a 5 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Mike:  Golden Toad Habanero Pepper Sauce tastes exactly how it sounds, like a habanero pepper.   I do like the flavor of habanero pepper, so of course I like the flavor of this hot sauce.  I use habanero hot sauce on my eggs and some Mexican food.  The sauce is orange in color and has a thin consistency.  Since this hot sauce seems to be mostly habanero peppers, it does have a little kick to it.  I am rating this hot sauce a 5 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh:  I have never had a habanero pepper and Mike said that this hot sauce tastes similar to that.  If Golden Toad Habanero Pepper sauce tastes similar to a habanero pepper, then I wouldn’t mind trying the pepper since I liked the flavor of the hot sauce.  I was expecting some heat from this hot sauce and it delivered.  It was decently hot at first and then builds up slowly to punish its taster, catching you off guard.  I am rating this hot sauce a 6 out of 10 on the heat scale.
