“Chipotle Hot Sauce”

Consistency is quite thick & it has a bit of a tendency to separate meaning that giving it a good shake before pouring is a must to stop the sauce getting progressively thicker and thicker as you pour of the runnier sauce on the top each time.

Definitely delivers on the chipotle; unmistakably smoky aroma as soon as you open the bottle & the flavour matches.  Not too much heat, but relatively sweet (ingredients list yields high fructose corn syrup and honey) compared to many other sauces.

Spicing plays a good supporting role to the smoke leading to an pleasant, though very dominating flavour.

6/10 – Good but not great.

“Born In Tijuana”

As would probably be expected, this is very similar to the original in terms of consistency, heat & ingredients.  The roasted peppers give a bit of added richness and depth to the flavour which for me, gives it the edge over its brother, though I wouldn’t say that it was smoky.

7/10 – Tasty, not overly hot, good with many things.  Would buy again!

“Born In Tijuana”

Good consistency, quite “pourable” without being too runny.  Certainly not a craft sauce; it’s shot full of various preservatives.

Quite tasty; nice balance of heat, garlic & spices giving it a flavoursome bite, though nothing particularly remarkable.

6/10 – Good without being particularly memorable (“pour and forget?”).  Would pick it up again if I saw it.
