- Heartbeat Hot Sauce Co. | Red Habanero, 6 oz.

Fabulous. Lots of flavor and not crazy spicy. Recommend

I've been buying this for years and it's a very versatile hot sauce that has a good viscosity for putting on top of things without being too thick and a super pleasant taste. It's fantastic for Pizza, Chorizo and Eggs, Tacos, and Wings but I find myself putting it on all sorts of stuff. The heat melds with light citrus notes. It's a disarmingly mild hot sauce but you can taste the floral habanero pepper which is great. Heat-wise, this is not going to knock your socks off and I think people who aren't typically into super spicy hot sauces will really love this one. I have tried hundreds of hot sauces and I think this is the most accessible and versatile and despite it's relatively high price I do think it's worth it!

This to me is a personal favorite. I like light/medium heat nothing too extreme. This hits it perfectly! The taste is amazing too. Whether I use it on wings or chicken nuggets it's my go to and for the price it last quite a long time and is worth a try!

Good flavor, not too sweet. Mild Habanero flavor. I prefer a heavy Habanero flavor. Not my favorite but good! Good over all flavor not over salty or Taco Bell!!! Ill use this!!!

Brings a nice heat, with a beautiful smokey, sweetness. Brighter, and just a little hotter than Sriracha. Great on everything. Cap not so good. Squirt everywhere.

We bought this sauce an one other together as our first foray into good hot sauces. My only real baseline comparison before this would be Cholula, Frank's, or Tabasco.. run-of-the-mill stuff. I slather lots of Cholula on stuff and it doesn't light me up at all. This sauce here is sweet and delicious. It's not too hot at all, unless you use too much. On another popular hot sauce site it's rated 5/10 which is the same as another bottle we just got (Butterfly Bakery Smoked Onion). This one isn't nearly as hot as the Smoked Onion, but tastes better. A friend who tried these who is a lot more of a spice lord than I am said he liked the flavor of this one but wished it had the heat of the other. I like them both and I'll say if you are just dabbling into hot sauces and are afraid you'll get something that's too hot to enjoy, do not be afraid of this one. It's not that hot at all... and that's coming from a Cholula guy. It's probably just a little hotter than Cholula, but waaaay more flavorful. Enjoy!

Cons: For one, this is a good hot sauce. I have a hard time with the name though, as the bell pepper flavor is significantly stronger than the habanero, leaving me disappointed as a habanero lover. Bottle is pretty small for 12$. Understandable price for a small batch. Pros: even though there isn't much habanero flavor, the taste is still quite good. it has an earthy, sweet flavor profile from the bell peppers The heat is just enough. makes the mouth tingle but doesn't make you pant or regret having too big a portion. consistency. The sauce has enough viscocity to not travel around on chip and drip off but its also not so thick its a salsa. the bottle is a great thing too. more hot sauces should use the spout to make an easier pour.

I have tried a lot of hot sauces over the years and some are just a little bit spicy and some are so hot as to make it impossible to taste what you put it on in the first place. They are more of a novelty than anything. I love the flavor of Habanero peppers but most sauces are over the top. HEartbeat keeps the flavor, and it IS hot, but not over the top. I love it. It IS a little bit pricey compared to some others but it is worth it to me.
