A pretty straight forward beast. Habanero mash, a bit of bulking and a pep up with capsicum powder…
While I’m not sure it’s 100% pain, it it a powerfully hot sauce. The mashed habanero gives it a lovely mellow up-front flavour, with the heat really kicking in as a follow up. It’s damn hot and damn tasty, but not one that I can use very liberally on my food without paying for it.
8/10 – If you like your sauces on the hot side, I can really recommend this one
Ah, Spicin Foods, well done. Another triumph! For me this is a medium hot sauce, you can certainly get the habanero but it doesn’t blow my mouth up. What makes this sauce a bit special, I think, is the tomatoes and spices. It gives a very smooth base flavour with the spice dancing on top. This is one that I love with food like Tex Mex and wedges.
Pro tip: it has a bit of a tendency to separate in the bottle so remember to shake… Otherwise you end up with quite a sticky last 1/4 of the bottle which is tricky to get out!
8/10 – Yum.
Picked up from the supermarket, apparently lovingly made in The Fens.
Pretty tasty sauce (garlic and lemon quite prominent, giving way to chilli) , not particularly hot, so liberally used (I think this bottle lasted about 10 days)
6/10 – Good, solid sauce but a bit unremarkable. Happy to buy again but so many others to try…
I don’t think it’s any secret to say that I really like the Psycho Juice range and in my opinion, this one’s another cracker.
For me, this is a complimentary sauce rather than a “drown everything in it” type. It’s pretty hot (well, it is 64% naga) and packs a flavour punch so becomes very dominant if used liberally. I think I’ve mostly dripped spots on sandwich filling, chips, roast potatoes, etc. In this way I find you get the smack of flavour and heat, but can still enjoy the tastes of the carrying food.
So.. Strong hit of smoky chipotle is first on the tongue, mellowing out a bit & then giving way to naga heat which has quite a follow-through as you might expect.
8/10 – Will buy again
