Ingredients: Vinegar, Cayanne peppers, Lemon Juice, Salt, Garlic, Spices
Sitting down to do my first Hot Sauce review…..
This should be easy I do this almost every day, but just for me in my head! Now I can share it with the world!
I love the Label on the Illegal Alien Sauce, This was the Lawn Mower release, but I had been sent a “tasting bottle” so I wouldn’t have to open the signed and numbered offering. Nice use of colors, Funny theme, that must be one fast lawn mower with the flame paint job! There is also a version with a Lettuce Picker and one with a Leaf Blower. The next release voted on by you the Hot Sauce Blog Readers will be: “Alien building a brick wall in front of the barbed wire fence”
The bottle doesn’t describe much about whats going to be inside other than “Hot Sauce”
First I opened the bottle and smelled the sauce, It had a mild peppery smell with a hint of vinegar. It smelled like a Franks Red Hot or Durkee sauce.
Poured a little out onto a plate to check the consistency. It was thicker than your average cayenne Pepper sauce, but still on the thin side. It had little bits of stuff in it and had a nice rich red color.
Next was the straight taste test. First flavor I got was the salt then a hint of Lemon or lime and black pepper, it wasn’t particularly hot, the kind of sauce you could pour on just about anything.
I decided to try it out on an Egg Sandwich, so I made some scrambled eggs with a slice of cheese and toasted half a bagel. I poured a good amount of the sauce on the bagel and then put the egg and cheese on top. I like the sauce under my eggs.
The sauce was a nice complement to the eggs and cheese, not too hot, but after I was done I had a nice little tingle going on, nothing requiring a beverage or an antidote. It is comparable to your Franks or Durkee Red Hot only thicker and more flavorfull, definitly a whole world above your average Cayenne sauce, only drawback was it was a tad salty. I think this sauce would be a absolute killer on chicken wings, take buffalo wings to another level!
Packaging 9/10
Appearance 9/10
Taste 6/10
Heat 4/10
Overall Rating 7/10
I talked with Jack Penrod and he told me the Illegal Alien Sauce was going to get a little tweaking for the next release with more Cilantro, Lemon and cutting back on the salt.

This is a pretty good tasting product and I agree that it is abit to salty.
Jack is going to cut back abit on the salt and I think it will be a solid, great tasting hot sauce for many dish applications.
The Red DITD Sauce also gets way Two Thumbs Up by Travis my son and the Misses along w/ myself. Nice hot heat level with great taste.
The Habanero Jerky is Awesome and a must try item to put on your list!
Moist, tender with great taste and HEAT! AWESOME JERKY FORSURE!!
Ordered 3 packs recently after trying it for the first time.
This Man knows his spice and what he’s doing and will be excelling in the future.
MUST TRY PRODUCTS!!

Hmmmm……Only a 4 on the heat scale? If I know Ed that must mean it’s only about 100,000 SHU’S….lol
Nice Review!
Great review Ed, I think Jack makes it easy for you- his products are outstanding and they taste good.

Well said Scotty, couldn’t have said it better myself, so I won’t.
Wow, great review Ed, I think you hit the nail on the head with this one.
The comments are far too nice, I am a beginner compared to all the experts on this site, with much to learn.
THANKYOU

AJ,
I’m gonna have to give the Alien series a try I guess. Sounds good, and the labels are a collectors item for sure.
What type of pen did you right on the bottle with?? I’m trying out pens and I can’t find anything that works properly. Care to share??

AJ,
Thanks for the info. I going to hussle over to Office Depot (no Office Max up north) and see if they carry that pen. I’m thinking it might be at something like Michaels (big ass crafty big box retailer) up here.
By the by, I got your email as well. You’ll hear back from me soonest. I’m working the store this morning. It’s 30 below zero here this morning, not expecting huge biz today. 
It should give me a chance to catch up on paperwork and emails though.
Have a good one.

I use the DecoColor paint markers. You can find them at just about any art supply sotre. I haven’t tried the Elmers pen yet. Hell, it’s Saturday, maybe I’ll run down to Staples as well and try it out, Staples is closer than the art store.

You’d think we’d be busier than a two peckered billy goat at a barnyard gang bang, but it’s a frickin’ ghost town out there today.
The sun just came out so maybe people will come out of their hibernation for the afternoon, let’s hope so.
