It's a somewhat vinegar-forward hot sauce. Smear a teaspoon of it on a hot slice of pizza, or put a few spoons in your chili, and you'll be sweating in no time. This one does subside quickly which is why it's probably lower on the heat scale, but it does give you a good mouth and lip burn, but it won't wreck your guts. It has a good texture; not too runny and not so thick you have to smack the bottle to get it out. It doesn't leave chunks in the neck of the bottle that you have to stir back in. All in all, a delicious sauce for your arsenal.
