    Label:

    Not the hottest siracha chili sauce (not close) around. Why is there sugar as the second ingredient? White death does not belong in hot products.

    Looks:

    looks rather blank and un-intersting for a hot sauce

    Aroma:

    ok for a blank sauce not inspiring for the palette

    Taste:

    The taste is quite low on the scale I have for this type of product. No magination from the company.

    Heat:

    Poor level of heat compared to other siraacha products. I like to sweat when I eat.

    Overall:

    Very disappointing product from this company. I expected a much hotter and healthier hot sauce. Why such companies put sugar in their food does not make any sense, unless it is a cheap ingredient..

    Label:

    Labeling is fine - I am not certain what most of it says, but as long as I can make enough distinction to know to purchase it (and we can), all is well.

    Looks:

    Coloring is good and so is the consistency and texture.

    Aroma:

    The smell is to me, almost inviting but this is the first time I ever thought of smelling it. I can detect the smell of different ingredients but they are all pleasing to my nostrils.

    Taste:

    The taste is marvelous! My wife and I both prefer it over the Louisiana hot sauce hands down. I wanted to try the Louisiana sauce but it is now sitting in the frig as a back-up only.

    Heat:

    This sauce is perfect for my taste, however, I have not tried many. It is Much tastier than the Louisana Hot Sauce I have tried and hotter!

    Overall:

    Top of the line for us, thus far! I would like to sample more if that opportunity ever comes along without giving this one up.

    Label:

    Weird label, a bit boring and plane but at least the rooster artwork is well designed.

    Looks:

    Thick red sauce good clean colour and consistency. Everything you could want lookwise from a hot sauce, but you dont buy it for the looks.

    Aroma:

    Not a heavy smell on it, you can detect a bit of spice and a little vinegary smelling.

    Taste:

    It adds a hit of spice to whatever I am cooking. It also has a little flavor to it but not enough for me to season anything with it alone.

    Heat:

    Good amount of heat to it, enough to make it my go too choice when making sauce for chicken.

    Overall:

    I recommend trying it in your cooking, but not as a stand alone on chips or anything like that, A good ingredient but not a full body flavor.

    Label:

    Labeling is attractive and clean and leaves the impression the sauce is Asian, even though it is made in the USA.

    Looks:

    Color, consistency and texture are all professional-smooth and repeated from bottle to bottle.

    Aroma:

    Enticing. Neither overly pungent, sweet, or spicy smelling. The aroma matches the consistency of the sauce, smooth.

    Taste:

    This sauce has some kick but is not overwhelming. The garlic and sweetness shine through. In fact, spreading a little on salted-corn tortilla chips is very good; the chips and sauce enhance each other's flavor. This sauce is a go-to-sauce. Definitely a sauce for Asian dishes that can be used on a great many other things such as fried chicken, potato chips, and so on.

    Heat:

    This sauce is not excessively hot. It lends kick to dishes but does not drive you away from the food.

    Overall:

    A sauce that is excellently prepared and displayed. It is clear from the size of the containers it can be consumed in large quantities and more and more restaurants in America now serve Sriracha. A not to be missed experience.

    • Label: 5

    Label:

    An interesting design. A lack of sticker on the bottle (i think) is made up with the 'out of the box' design of having the words printed on the plastic bottle, perfect (i mean perfect) for squeezing the sauce on your plate. You can spot this sauce anywhere and with its transparent design, you can see the sauce inside. The font used is unique to regular printed text. Use of underline, italics Very efficient labeling.

    Looks:

    A well blended concoction that's next to watery in consistency, but not thick and clumpy. Its got the consistency of thin mustard with tiny little clumps littered in the sauce, perfect for stopping drips. Nice pasty consistency and spreads well in food.

    Aroma:

    When i take the lid of, i smell a thick, garlicy aroma with a faint 'Doritos-salsa' smell. I can also detect the distant, sharp, sun ripened chili.

    Taste:

    I taste a lot of garlic, it is evenly salted and the pasty chili taste spreads evenly on the food and mixes well in your mouth. A decent heat and taste balance. Really like this.

    Heat:

    Its punchy, but not hot. The heat comes instantly and sits for a bit, but then it leaves abruptly that acts like a catalyst for you to get more. The more you put on, the more strong taste you are going to enjoy and the strong taste makes up for what it lacks in heat.

    Overall:

    Coming home from a long bus and train ride, i looked into the cupboard and asked me mother what this new sauce is. She said that dad got it and wanted to try it. I took the seal off and tried it with crumbled fish and my special rice (white, boiled rice with shredded cheese and a guest starring chili) and it was really good. I tried more, it was great. The day after, i used it in my chili con carne, it really works. Really nice flavour and it hits the spot with consistency. Quite possibly, my favourite consistency on a chili sauce.

    Label:

    Easily identifiable around the world. Use this sauce in Paris Frsnce or Paris Texas A classic.

    Looks:

    Color nice red consistency varies to shakability Texture more than acceptable

    Aroma:

    Strong. flavorful pungent More vinegary than many similar sauces

    Taste:

    The heat predominates. Great to punch up Pho, which is where I found this sauce eons ago. Lingers just long enough ....essentially a garnish sauce vs a cooking sauce

    Heat:

    The burn is serious. Be advised to use sparingly and only as a garnish.

    Overall:

    If you know to use as a garnish sauce, with delicately or less seasoned Asian cooking, this is the ultimate hot sauce for these dishes. Works really well with Vietnamese food.others I have not tried enough to cast an opinion.

    Label:

    An unmistakable label. Its simple design will bring a smile to your face once you know the goodness that is contained inside.

    Looks:

    A pleasant orange red blend. The sauce has a slight thickness to it. Depending on how much you shake, you can adjust it to your liking.

    Aroma:

    A very sharp smell. Very garlicky with a strong vinegar signature.

    Taste:

    Outstanding taste. This sauce goes well with anything. Many sauces may make that claim but Sriracha truly delivers. A unique taste, with a fantastic garlic flavor.

    Heat:

    It doesn't pack much of a punch at all. It is a very mellow heat, that doesn't overwhelm or beat up on the flavor of your food.

    Overall:

    One of my Regulars. This one goes with it all. Never fear using it on any of your favorite dishes. When recommending a sauce to anyone who doesn't have much experience or a weak tongue, you cant go wrong here. A must have for all hot sauce fans.
