Label:
Very mild habanero sauce. Have you eaten a habanero pepper? It's between 100,000 to 300,000 Scoville. This sauce is around 20,000 Scoville at best. It's highly diluted with onion, vinegar, and other ingredients. I bought a 10oz bottle and it literally lasted me 4 days. On the contrary I've bought scorpion bottles from Get Sauced, and only a handful of drops will do me. With Marie Sharps I need at least 4 or 5 tablespoons, and I think the sauce is too salty and too much onion. Needs more heat and less garbage bases in it.
Looks:
It's very watery in consistency, too much vinegar, not enough mash.
Aroma:
Smells good but too much onion taste wise
Taste:
Too much onion. Not enough mash. Too much vinegar. Hot sauce should NEVER contain water...
Heat:
Not hot at all. It's a mild/medium at best. The hottest sauces I've had leave me gasping and wishing upon death. I could literally drink Marie Sharps Beware sauce as a cocktail. It is extremely mild compared to its namesake. Almost embarrassing
Overall:
Mild sauce compared to jts advertisement. Raw habanero is 5x hotter than this sauce. It doesn't taste bad but too much salt, overhyped heat, and something you'd buy once as a collector item. Otherwise you'd never use this as a daily sauce. It's nothing special but a slightly hotter version of franks.

Label:
Labeling is fine, but with the excessive amount of CAUTION and BEWARE you'd think it was a ghost pepper sauce or something to be only used in very tiny portions. The bottle includes a Tobasco style dripper that makes it difficult to apply but can easily be removed.
Looks:
Color and consistency look great and there are visible bits of real ingredients.
Aroma:
The aroma is really appetizing. It doesn't have a very vinegary or sharp smell to it. The sauce is spicy but not spicy to the point the smell become pungent like a ghost pepper sauce.
Taste:
Sweet. It's got this really lovely sweet taste that you don't get with many other habanero sauces that usually have sharp salty or vinegary flavors.
Heat:
For what it is, which is a habanero sauce, the heat is fantastic. I'd say it's about as hot as many of the ghost pepper salsas I've tried and a good bit hotter than the majority of other habanero sauces.
Overall:
I really love the taste of this sauce, it's definitely one of my favorites. It is sweet and pleasant tasting while also giving a strong amount of heat. It sits right on the lip before super spicy sauces start to become bitter and pungent and gives you the best of both worlds.
