Label:
Not exciting, but it tells you what it is.
Looks:
Good smooth red color. Fairly thin (as expected), no noticeable flecks or chunky bits.
Aroma:
Moderate vinegar scent with cayenne underneath.
Taste:
Moderate vinegar-and-salt taste, as one would expect. Not a huge amount of heat which is Just Fine with me.
Heat:
Not hot, more warm. Decidedly more-so than Franks, but not as hot as Tapatio.
Overall:
Not the hottest or fanciest sauce out there, but it's comfortable to eat and doesn't overpower with heat, vinegar, or salt. A very good basic Louisiana-style sauce that I keep on the shelf

Label:
Yellow, green and red.. An outline of the Louisiana boot in white with "Cajun" in red script across the front. letting you know right away what type of sauce this is. Nothing wild but I like it.
Looks:
Your typical Louisiana-style hot sauce. Thin, smooth and a deep red. No noticeable flecks or chunks.
Aroma:
Pungent vinegar with the sharp smell of cayenne underneath.
Taste:
Salty and vinegary with the tang of cayenne. Simple and uncomplicated which is to be expected with such a short ingredient list.
Heat:
Very mild. No noticeable punch of heat but a slight sunburn that builds in the mouth as you eat it. Hotter than a Texas Pete or Frank's Original but only just.
Overall:
Your basic Louisiana-style hot sauce. Not as salty as Frank's and a little hotter than Texas Pete's. Definitely has the vibe that you would find this on the tables of local diners in the depths of the Louisiana interior. For what it is, it's enjoyable.
