Label:
Rather basic labeling, the bottle is colored according to the alcohol they use but otherwise there is not visual depiction of the character of the hot sauce.
Looks:
Classic red hot sauce color, texture and consistency is very fine and homogeneous. A little on the lighter side but not too runny or oily.
Aroma:
Chili peppers with a hint of cheap agave tequila.
Taste:
This hot sauce has no vinegar so there is nothing in the way of a traditional pickled pepper taste. The first note I picked up was watered down cheap tequila, the kind you get when you order the house margarita at a Mexican restaurant. The peppers come in later and are rather non-descript. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say I got some phenolic clove flavors as well.
Heat:
If you've had red hot, the intensity and duration is pretty much identical.
Overall:
Overall this is an easy to use hot sauce that won't offend anyone. The tequila flavor is present but somewhat subdued. This hot sauce is vegetarian friendly, gluten free, 100% natural, and vinegar free so it should go well with a variety of dishes and people.
