I bought his Naga SoreAss and Jolokia 10 sauce today. I have never really reviewed a sauce before, but I will do my best with these.
Naga Soreass:
Ingredients - Red Savina, Naga Jolokia, vinegar, onion, tomatoes, lemon juice, garlic, salt, spices
Consistency - medium, seems to be pourable without great difficulty. Mostly seed-free. The fact that it is blended peppers is pretty obvious because of what it leaves on the side of the bottle.
Color - dull red
Smell - a bit of vinegar, but not overpowering. Enough chinense smell to really get your saliva flowing. Excellent aroma!
Taste - mild vinegar, small amount of garlic and onion, and lots of pepper flavor. This sauce hits pretty fast - after a second or two it lights up the roof of your mouth, sides of your tongue, and then the heat begins to even out over your mouth. It peaks rather quickly and begs for another taste.
Heat - 7/10
Price - $8/5oz
Overall - This sauce has great flavor and a good amount of heat. I think that chicken is begging to have this stuff on it! I definitely recommend it.
Jolokia 10:
Ingredients - Fatalii, Red Savina, Orange Habanero, onion, distilled vinegar, mustard, garlic, Naga Jolokia powder, black pepper, chile caribe, cayenne, select blend of dehydrated vegetable powders
Consistency - thick! Pours slow and you'll have to clear the neck of the 5oz bottle.
Color - tan
Smell - the spices are more apparent in this one. Slightly smokey smell. Vinegar less apparent.
Taste - The peppers blend more with the spices in this one and don't stand out as much as with the above sauce. The heat takes a few seconds longer to hit and then builds for a while longer, getting considerably hotter. I am not sure that this one measures up taste-wise with the other one, but I did not try it with a fresh palate. However, I tried it on a turkey and tomato sandwich this afternoon for lunch, and it was delicious.
Heat - 9/10
Price - $10/5oz
Overall - This is another really good sauce, and provides one hell of a burn that lingers! It will surely make its presence known in whatever you add it to. It has a distinct taste and it is a bit different than any other hot sauce I've had (note: I'm not as experienced as a lot of you) and its uniqueness is good. I could see this as a great addition to a jerk rub.
