I ordered this Aardvark Habeñero hot sauce by simply searching for highly rated hot sauces on Amazon. With over 1200 reviews and 4.5 stars I had a lot of faith. And sure enough it was pretty good. Keep in mind it classifies itself as a Caribbean/Tex-Mex hybrid so I expected there to be some sweetness. It’s too sweet for me to put on say Mexican food, but I could appreciate it on something like a chicken rice bowl that I imagine has some lime or pineapple thrown in the mix. Maybe that’s the Caribbean part of the hybrid coming out and talking to me. I don’t consider this a catch-all hot sauce (like my beloved Cholula) because I think the sweetness and flavor would clash with some foods. It does lend itself well to any meat that you can imagine in some sort of a sweet marinade. Maybe I’m an outlier because my opinion does not align with several of the 1200 reviewers that claim they go through a bottle a week or put this stuff on everything. But that’s what I have to say.
Flavor: 3
