Once again, it’s all dependant on a reviewers taste buds. Read the two reviews below and you can see what I’m talking about. One couldn’t get enough heat and the other had far too much heat. It’s all relative…

I have to agree with Adam. He may like #1 better, but I must say, to me,the #1 is so mild it’s not even a hot sauce…
I actually just found a review for the #23 on Meat Henge. It’s a positive review.
Yeah I don’t think #1 was meant to be considered a Hot Sauce, more of a Sauce.
The #23 Fever Sauce is pretty much my favorite. I like the heat, makes my mouth suck in air. But there’s some nice flavors going on in there. My #23 has emptied faster than any other one.
The Slaughter Sauce makes me smile, then giggle, then swear like a sailor. It’s fun.

I do have a question. When you’re reviewing sauces, do you get them to room temp or directly from the fridge? Cold food can have dramatically reduce flavor. This is why cured olives should always be served at room temp and why tomatoes should never ever be put in the fridge. For the ‘maters it’ll permanently ruin the flavor.
In any case, make sure sauces are at room temp for good flavor action.

Eeenteresting.
Ya know, this leads me to wonder what a hot sauce would be like carefully warmed a bit? Hmmmm, *ponder*
The ones I review are normally at room temperature. I don’t even think about opening them for the first time until I’m ready to review.
I’ve asked the “warming hot sauces” question before on a different site and never got a response. But I’ve tried it and it does change the nuance of the sauce; esp. the consistency. Usually makes the sauce “runny”er. And of course the sweetness comes out more; if any sugars are an ingredient.

yeah, but the everyday sauce is the lowest on the list. I’d like to a reviewer’s opinion on the #23 … to see how we differ.
