The Hot Sauce Thread • Page 58

Been a while since I've opened up some new sauces that missed the mark for me but I guess I was due. This weekend I tried Angry Goat's Black Bison, fully unaware that it was a superhot with a fruit blend and tequila, so that was shocking to say the least. I've had plenty of sauces that utilize the sweetness of fruits, but idk I just couldn't get into this one. Also tried a sauce from a place in VA Beach called Speedy's and it's a citrus jalapeno green sauce but the scales tip a little far into the citrus side for my liking. I guess my big takeaway is that sauces that utilize fruit are a gamble for me haha

 

haha they can be hit or miss. Two of my fave fruity sauces are Dirty Dick's and Big Karma's Cherry Bomb. Both are killer.

 

Dirty Dick's was such a good gateway sauce for me and remains one of my faves as well! Still have yet to try Cherry Bomb though.

 

Once my bottle of DD's gets to about the halfway mark, I order another haha.

 

got the maple wood smoked onion sauce in the mail yesterday. was halfway gone by dinner.

 

Some recent faves

 

That blueberry sauce is v good with Tortilla chips. Haven’t found much else I love to put it on

 

In the market for some new cool sauces. Hit me with your essentials, I'm a novice to the whole craft hot sauce thing for the most part. Nothing suuuuper spicy. Any flavor profile, sans cilantro.

 

Few in my fridge currently:
Secret Aardvark
Blue Top Garlic Hatch
an offbrand truffle one which I don't really like
Chipotle Tobasco
Green Tobasco
Cholula
Franks
Trader Joes Habanero
Tiger Sauce
Torchbearer BBQ and Horseradish

 

yellowbird habanero
queen majesty scotch bonnet
heatonist/hot ones los calientes
heartbeat habanero
small axe chicago red hot

i also make my own if you want a bottle

 

Butterfly Bakery | Smoked Onion

 

Los Calientes over the Classic Garlic Fresno?

 

I also have Keith's Chicken Sauce in my cart, that looks great. Might do that, Smoked Onion, Small Axe Chicago and either The Classic or Los Calientes

 

Agree with all of the recs. Get some Dirty Dicks too!

 

I just keep putting Garlic Crystals on everything

 

yes imo

 

Boom done

 

I like the Bravado sauces a lot

 

Forget to pause my Heatonist box this month so looks like I'm getting the new Apollo Last Dab. Curious!

 

My go to sauces lately have been mostly Barbados style . Cheeba Gold, Dirty Dicks gold, Shaquandas and Pirates Lantern are all amazing.

 

Cheeba Gold is SO good. I've had the Spicier Smoke Shaquandas and that was also delicious.

 

Bravado's stuff is really good

I also love Heartbeat's sauces.

As for the Hot Ones sauces, Los Calientes is easily the best one I've had imo. Still need to try the Garlic Fresno Classic though.

 

Sean Evans is dropping a Reebok collab lol wtf

 

goes great on gouda grilled cheeses or other dishes using a nice funky cheese.
