Review: Acid Rain & Acid Rain Limited Edition Hot Sauce

Label: Acid Rain–The label is yellow consisting of black and red text with Hatari presenting ACID RAIN, hot sauce piquante. Underneath there is a rain cloud dumping some Acid Rain onto a tree. Under the tree is a caption, “Our Beyond Belief Hot Sauce”. The bottle is 4.4 oz, slightly smaller than the usual 5 oz industry bottle.

Bottle description: Acid Rain–If you’re one of the folks who just like their food HOT!, this sauce was made especially for you. Unlike some hot sauces, ACID RAIN, is loaded with flavor. It is not only a blending of some of the hottest peppers in the galaxy, but some of the most flavourful ingredients, as well. You are just going to love it. Do not sprinkle on lakes or forests. 2 thumbs up for the biology theme!

Ingredients: Acid Rain—-Habanero, piquin, ring of fire, peri-peri, tepin and jalapeno peppers, garlic, ginger, spices, salt, lemon, lime and orange juices and vinegar.

Appearance: Acid Rain—- Acid Rain is of reddish brown color that appears to be smooth and thin. There are some seeds visible as well as some of the other spices. If I had to pick I would go with it being on the slightly more brownish side than red, in terms of color.

Odor: Acid Rain—- The smell of this sauce is truly amazing. Piquin seems to be the main odor about, but I can sense the garlic, the sweetness of the lemon, lime, and O.J, as well as a trace of habanero. The blending is really amazing.

Taste: Acid Rain–The flavor was a perfect blending of the peppers mentioned in the ingredients. The ginger I felt really was a great addition to the sauce bringing all the flavors together. The sauce went great with pizza. I love the taste of the piquin and wish other sauces would include this ingredient. The flavor is versatile enough where it can be used on other foods and I really stress trying this on pork chops. It is phenomenal.

Heat: Acid Rain– At first the flavor is way too great to notice any heat but after consuming enough of it, the heat does build. It is a not a tongue lasher by any means but you will feel some kick after a few minutes.

Final Thoughts: Acid Rain– This sauce is in my top 20 and for a reason. The flavor is truly remarkable and unlike many others on the market. The sauce is versatile enough to be used on poultry, pizza, tacos, veggies, etc. However if you are looking for something of strong heat then you will have to look elsewhere.

Packaging 9/10
Aroma 10/10
Taste 10/10
Appearance 9/10
Heat 6/10

Overall 9.5

Label: Acid Rain Limited Edition– The bottle is the same size as the original Acid Rain. However, it comes in a nice wooden collectors case with the same Acid Rain cloud sprinkling polluted rain onto a tree. The label though is a bright orange and again the text is black and red. The one difference is that there is no caption, HOT SAUCE PIQUANTE as the original, and there is a number 10 added to this label. Under the tree is a caption, “The Hottest Sauce Anywhere!

Bottle description: Acid Rain Limited Edition–ACID RAIN is the hottest sauce anywhere. It is our normal ACID RAIN with the addition of a new pepper that recently has been discovered in Africa. Hatari Brothers International has purchased all the land that this pepper grows on and we have named the pepper “HATARI” which is Kiswahili for DANGER. Use at your own risk and good luck.

Ingredients: Acid Rain Limited Edition—-Hatari Peppers, Habanero, piquin, ring of fire, peri-peri, tepin and jalapeno peppers, garlic, ginger, spices, salt, lemon, lime and orange juices and vinegar.

Appearance: Acid Rain Limited Edition—- Acid Rain Limited Edition has a more deeper red/brown color than its predecessor. While I don’t see any extract oils in it, I am curious if there is some in here. There are some seeds visible as well as some of the other spices which was seen in the original Acid Rain. Again the consistency is smooth and thin.

Odor: Acid Rain Limited Edition—- The smell of this sauce is deeper than the original Acid Rain. Can this be the Hatari? There is less sweetness than the original. There is definitely a stronger habanero odor to this one. Not as much garlic odor is present and there is a trace of an extract. I honestly do smell some extracts but it is not overwhelming.

Taste: Acid Rain Limited Edition– I did taste some extract in this sauce and I felt the flavor wasn’t as rich as the original Acid Rain. However, the flavor is still decent enough that it is enjoyable. I felt the habanero flavor of this sauce was greater than the original which seemed to be piquin. I feel the flavor lacking versatility limits its use on foods. This would make a good wing sauce.

Heat: Acid Rain Limited Edition– This sauce is clearly hotter than the original Acid Rain. It hits you in a shorter period of time as the original Acid Rain, which took time to build up. This sauce is not a mind blowing blaze as some of the sauces that contain extracts in it, but it is fairly hot enough for those of you looking for something a few notches up in the scoville scale but not all the way up the mountain.

Final Thoughts: Acid Rain Limited Edition– This sauce is a notch hotter than the original Acid Rain, but the flavor is clearly not the same. The collector’s case makes this a nice addition to any collection. The flavor isn’t downright bad, but it is not the same quality as the original Acid Rain. I am skeptical about the addition of a Hatari pepper that was discovered in Africa. I honestly feel there is some extract in this sauce as I was able to smell it and taste it in some way.

Packaging 10/10
Aroma 7/10
Taste 7/10
Appearance 8/10
Heat 8/10

Overall 8.0
