An ongoing post with reviews of hot sauces.

Aardvark Habanero Hot Sauce

• Date: 2024-02-16
• Perceived Heat: Medium
• Rating: 9
• Notes: Reminds me of a Big Mac. I’ve tried it in a burrito and on a chip, both got better with the sauce.

Heartbeat Blueberry Habanero Hot Sauce

• Notes: I can’t taste much blueberry in this. It’s a good tasting sauce, but it doesn’t stick out in any way.

Heartbeat Dill Pickle Serrano Hot Sauce

• Date: 2024-01-16
• Perceived Heat: Very Easy
• Rating: 8
• Notes: Super pronounced taste of pickled cucumber. Very tasty, but a bit hard to match. Probably great on a hotdog.

Heartbeat Jalapeño Hot Sauce

• Date: 2024-01-16
• Perceived Heat: Very Easy
• Rating: 9
• Notes: Very pronounced taste of jalapeño. A bit chunky.

Heartbeat Shiitake Szechuan Hot Sauce

• Date: 2024-01-09
• Perceived Heat: Very Easy
• Rating: 6
• Notes: A hard one to rate because it depends heavily on what you pair it with. It has a tendency to “disapear” along other tastes. When paired with something that lets it through its a good sauce though. Peppery but not hot.

Heartbeat Mango Habanero Hot Sauce

• Date: 2024-01-09
• Perceived Heat: Medium

• Notes: I was keen to try this after having tasted Heartbeat Pineapple Habanero, but this falls short of that one. Too rinny and not at all that much taste of mango. A bit too much taste of vinagar too.
