Label:
A very simplified design depicting a serving of fried chicken, for which the sauce is recommended. Clear text, clean graphics and nice photo.
Looks:
The sauce is a rich tomato red, with small chilli pieces. Its consistency is similar to ketchup or a relish. It is somewhat thick and sticky therefore pours after a few knocks on the bottle. It holds together once poured, which makes it a good dipping sauce.
Aroma:
A slight tangy vinegar smell, not strong in heat. In other words, nothing to worry about… yet.
Taste:
There is an initial sweet tang, followed by a kick of heat that is also smokey in flavour. This smoked quality is probably the main reason why the sauce is recommended for fried chicken as the two would combine very well. The heat lingers nicely at the back of the mouth.
Heat:
The heat is not overpowering, however lingers at the back of the tongue. The sweetness of the sauce somewhat lessens the heat to produce a slightly spicy, slightly sweet and tangy afterburn.
Overall:
This chilli sauce packs a bit of punch, but is still tame enough for the whole family to try. It seems a little tame for the avid chilli lover, however it has nice lingering heat in the mouth that should satisfy both chilli amateurs and veterans alike. There is a nice balance of sweetness and spice which makes it a nice introduction for any beginner in the chilli world!
