Serrano And Basil Hot Sauce By Bravado Spice Gluten Free, Vegan, Low Carb, Paleo Hot Sauce All Natural 5 oz Hot Sauce Bottle Award Winning Gourmet Hot Sauce

First off, I had no idea this was featured on Hot Ones as the title suggests. I simply purchased this on a whim because I wanted to free shipping and enjoy a good hot sauce. Did not look into it any further than that.That said, holy cow does this have some heat. I was certainly not expecting it. This is one of those where I tell folks that come over, if they want to go life and death with their food, give it a shot. It's definitely not for folks that just want to spice up their food a tad. That said, I do have buddies who come over and enjoy it on their pizza and what not, so it's not a total waste for me, but I can't say I've had it much beyond my initial try with it. It's way hotter than I had expected.I'll give it a 5 star however because I didn't read into how hot it was and for some people, perhaps it's not terribly hot. You can't really punish the sauce just because you can't take it as well as others. Besides, my buddies that have it, say it does taste really good, so I trust them since they can handle it much better than me :D

This is one of the hottest sauces you can buy without extracts that actually tastes great(looking at you Da Bomb). The flavor and heat is similar to Last Dab Apollo, so it pairs well with pizzas and other snacks. However, despite the amazing flavor, I simply cannot see myself using this sauce for anything that is not cooking related. The heat will leave your stomach in pain and discomfort for ~20 mins after consuming any portion of it. I will look into other Bravado Spice sauces that are less spicy than this one.

This is a very unique hot sauce. I am not a fan of super thin/watery hot sauces which was probably the biggest turn off for me, but the flavor is very unique - almost like a wine, while the heat is very hot. I can definitely see this used as an ingredient in soups, risotto, etc. but it’s not a sauce I would snack with.

First thing you notice is lots of pineapple and a strong habanero smell, a good thing. The taste is wonderful, fruity with med. to high heat, thick consistency perfect for my chicken wings, eggs, whatever. If your like me and pile it on then the heat is wonderful.Update: Still loving the pineapple but tried the Ghost pepper/blueberry one and it's a 1 star, little heat, weak flavors I tossed it. My favorite is Hellfire blueberry if you really want an excellent flavor and heat.

This hot sauce is HOT! It hurts. But the flavor is so amazing that I don't care. Use sparingly, but use often. The flavor profile is mature beyond any other hot sauce I have had. The umami from the garlic and the sweet smokiness of the arbol is incredible.I seldom re-order hot sauces, prefering whatever is at the grocery store, but this one is a standard one for me now.

Pineapple Habanero --I like this hot sauce. The combination of pineapple with habanero is very lovely. Great flavor but a mild heat level. I would use so much on my food, so the bottle went pretty fast. They don't use emulsifiers like xantham gum, so the consistency reminds me of a homemade hot sauce. Always shake the bottle with Bravado hot sauces before using. Although I like it, I will not buy it again because the heat level is too mild for my taste.Creamy Herb and JalapenoVery little heat, and the dominant flavor was herbs and vinegar. Very little heat and very little jalapeno pepper flavor. I would not buy it again. The consistency was also too thick and grainy for me.Aka Miso Ghost ReaperVery, very hot. I use this very sparingly. I get miso flavor up front, and then I'm blown away by the ghost pepper heat. I enjoy this hot sauce; it would be better if there weren't so much heat. I really like the miso in the hot sauce. I would buy this one again.Bravado needs to get a better bottle so it's easier to pour. Usually, hot sauces sold in these bottles have a little plastic at the top with a smaller hole to control the amount of hot sauce that is poured, but I don't think Bravado uses the plastic pieces because of the consistency of their hot sauce.

Sweet, then the gang comes in. Very good flavorful.

I stumbled across this as a recommendation on a reddit "what hot sauce is good on everything?" post. I have to agree, this sauce is good on everything (well, everything you'd put hot sauce on).For me, the heat level is perfect. Like everything else, we build a tolerance as we eat increasingly spicy foods. I'm fairly new to the realm of extreme heat, so the Reaper was slight intimidating (the hottest pepper in the world until recently). This actually isn't as hot as I expected, but it's certainly hotter than your run of the mill big name hot sauce. Don't be afraid to give this one a try if you're a hot sauce noob.The flavor profile is delicious and well executed. The garlic comes through without being overpowering. The vinegar adds a nice tang that meshes with the heat and gives it an acidic "zing". There's a subtle sweetness that tames the heat just a bit, and rounds everything out.I can see why this was a top recommendation as a "good on everything" hot sauce.

Delicious sauce and just the right amount of heat

It's great with quality ingredients but sometimes I feel like people just make hot sauces to test their pain tolerances. Unfortunately, I could not taste much miso.

Not very hot but the taste is very delicious

.

Delicious sauce! Normally Bravado sauces are very thin but this is the ideal thickness. Jalapeno isn't very hot, but it's my favorite pepper flavor.
