Bunsters 8/10 Heat Hot Sauce - (Australian Hot Sauce packed with Fruit and Veg) (Previously 7/10 Heat)

As others have stated, this hot sauce is fantastic. The heat is there, but so is the flavor. I especially like the fact that it's not vinegar-based and it has some texture to it - the sauce has more "clinging power" than say, Tabasco or Frank's. I realize that tolerance of spiciness is subjective, but to me, this is the perfect everyday hot sauce - not so hot that it's painful or has you reaching for milk - but hot enough & flavorful enough that you definitely know it's there while still being able to actually taste your food. It's a little pricey as far as hot sauces go, but I like the flavor so much that I'll certainly be buying additional bottles. I went to the direct Bunsters website to see if there was any kind of discount for buying in bulk (e.g. 6 bottles or 12 bottles) and, unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be. But I'll keep purchasing a couple bottles here & there through Amazon and I definitely recommend that others give it a try.

I'm a hot sauce guru and chili head for going on 30 years. I've tried them all..mostly. Some have been pretty flat or clones of that vinegary stuff from Louisiana, and others are just pure, gratuitous pain. It's taken a long time but finally we're getting the good stuff...respectable heat for us with the disease, AND lots of really good flavor to go with it. I found out about this from of course Teddie B (FBI), who has left us for...well who knows. But before he disappeared he reviewed this sauce and said it was not to be missed. He was 100% right. I ordered this one along with its hotter brother SH@#T-THE-BED and they're both my new favorites!! 7/10 is decent heat and very much an everyday sauce for well...everything!! Beginners will still find it fiery but for me it was perfect. The only drawback of course is the price! At $15 a bottle I can only afford to buy it maybe 2-3 times a year. They need to find a way to get the price down to about $10. Other than that, its awesome sauce! Oh no I didn't go there.

The flavor of this hot sauce is second to none. Easily the most delicious and most thick hot sauce I know of. I bought 4 bottles to replenish my personal stock if that tells you anything. It will play a central part in adding flavor and a little heat to my queso. I like my hot sauce to be about twice this heat level and could get there by adding the more famous and hotter version of this sauce to the mix, but the flavor is what I am primarily after and I can add more heat with anything that is crazy hot as well without breaking the bank on the hotter version of this sauce.

This is a good hot sauce, and one I'll probably be buying again. It has a unique flavor that's a little more like a salsa than a hot sauce. It's a bit chunky. Sweet. Hot (but not too hot). It's a little over-priced and I wish the bottle wasn't so fat (it is awkward in my fridge) but it's good!

there's no heat at all, but good flavor. i don't think you can really call it a hot sauce with how mild it is. i do have their 12/10 s**t the bed and its got a lot of heat with awesome flavor and is my favorite hot sauce in the world. if you can't handle heat you might like this, but if you're after something with some actual heat, step up to bunsters other sauces

If I ever needed another reason to want to move to Perth, Australia, then this would be it. Bunsters is simply the best by so many standards that I'm (almost) beyond words. I'm no stranger to heat, and Bunsters definitely delivers in that department -- it's not for the timid tongue, that I can assure you. But it's OH SO FLAVORFUL! There's nothing more satisfying than being lulled into a sublime endorphin rush, and trust that it was induced by an abundance of healthful ingredients, crafted by those who share my passion for heat. I will definitely be back for more! A little goes a long way, so savor every drop.

Yum yum get you some

The flavor of this hot sauce is outstanding; probably the best I've come across. It's got a nice kick but not too hot, so it's good for those not into screaming hot sauces. Tastes great on eggs! I wish it was a bit less expensive but this makes a great gift for your hot sauce lovers. It's also nice that this includes samples of 2 other sauces they make.
