    • Taste: 5
    • Aroma: 4
    • Looks: 4.1
    • Heat: 4
    • Label: 3

    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.
