Hot Ones Pickled Garlic Sriracha Hot Sauce | Spicy, Savory Sriracha Made With Natural Ingredients | 5 Fl Oz. (1 Pack)

The sauce is pretty tasty - it is sweeter than I thought it was going to be. Good level of spice, it has a spiciness but it doesn't burn you much at all, I could see this being good on wings for sure. The garlic comes through, there's really no pickled flavor in my opinion but the balance between the Sriracha spices and the garlic is good. Worth the price I'd say Oh - the consistency is probably mid-way between thick and watery. Not as watery as Tabasco, not as thick as barbecue sauce. It flows out quickly from the bottle

I know that Heatonist makes the "designer" sauces that are supposed to be high end. I swear half the price goes into packaging though. This sriracha is... Okay. It's not bad, it's certainly not great. It is middle of the road, and vastly over priced for what it is. I'm going to chalk that up to paying a premium to have the latest and greatest. Fine. The sauce as I mentioned, is just okay. I was excited by the prospect of garlic and pickle in a sriracha. First, my chief complaint with all Heatonist sauces is still very much intact with this one. It's too sweet. I do get that adding sugar adds complexity to the taste profile. And admittedly this one is not as sweet as other of their offerings. But, it's still too sweet for my liking. It has an after taste that reminds me of cotton candy. The heat is well managed. Not over the top, not too little. I'd say they got that right for a sauce that is approachable for most people. I would rate it about a 2/10 for heat. Which is fine for sriracha. This isn't a type of sauce I would look to to have my mouth burned off my face. For taste, I'm going to give it a 6/10. It's good, but it's not $20.00 good. Finally, for value, I'm going to rate it 2/10. I would expect to pay maybe $8.00 for this if it did not have a designer label on it. Again, I understand the premium for having the new thing, but even with that $20.00 is way too much for a 5 oz. bottle. All in all I'm glad I tried it. But it will not be dethroning Huy Fong for the go too sriracha any time soon. Final rating for overall purchase, 5/10.

Delicious!!!! Will be purchasing again soon

Sauce was awful. Tasted like a Smokey ketchup. Zero heat. Used once and threw the rest of the bottle away. The wrapper took forever to get off, too. 0/10 will never buy again.
