Label:
Rough brown paper that recalls butcher paper with the State of Maine and an outdoors man canoeing a long a bucolic river. I like it but it lost points since all the sauces have essentially the same label.
Looks:
An attractive, deep blue bordering on purple. Thick but still pours easily. Jelly-like consistency. Chunks of garlic, pepper, spices and blueberry throughout.
Aroma:
Surprisingly, very vinegar and habanero forward. Very slight undercurrent of sweetness.
Taste:
Garlic and vinegar are at the forefront which gives way to the fruit of the blueberry and peppers. A very subtle sweetness.
Heat:
Very mild for a habanero sauce. A delayed and subdued kick at the back of the throat that quickly dissipates.
Overall:
The sauce isn't too sweet and is mild on the fruit flavor. I would have preferred a little more heat and a more intense blueberry flavor. I tossed some chicken wings with this and the sauce got lost against the flavor of the chicken. I think this would be good on blander foods so as not to be overpowered. A good accompaniment to cream cheese, pancakes or even vanilla ice cream.
