Label:
Labeling is "average", nothing particularly eye catching, but then one cannot judge a sauce by its label. Hence, the label is really insignificant in the whole scheme of things.
Looks:
Colour is quite proper for a jalapeño sauce, green and a natural one at that, meaning nothing artificial to alter the hue. The consistency is neither too viscous nor too watery, simply perfect.
Aroma:
The smell bespeaks a trifling amount of vinegar, but in no event akin to the harsh experience one has opening a bottle of Tabasco (r). There is likewise a rather smooth melding of garlic and cilantro, quite pleasant.
Taste:
The taste is simply superb. Wegman's Organic Salsa Verde Hot Sauce is the closest thing to a fresh, homemade salsa verde I have had in some time, no small achievement for a bottled sauce from a major grocery store chain. It even brings back memories of my earliest memory having hot sauce in my grandmother's kitchen in Satelite, a suburb of Mexico City, some 32 years ago.
Heat:
For me, the burn is perfect, because it is rather minor ( a medical condition prevents me from having anything with habanero in any significant amount). Still, I rate it a 4 since I am well aware this sauce will be too mild for some.
Overall:
Spot on, really. This is my second favourite hot sauce off all time, and I've been eating hot sauce nearly my entire life.
