I was fortunate enough to have won the karma that Konata held. So I won a bottle of Raucous Daucus hot sauce.
It is a fairly bright Orange, and has a hint of vinegar. The chiles used have a very fruity and aromatic scent.

Flavor. First taste is fruity, floral, sweet. Then comes on a little heat, and then a vinegar hit. The flavor of the chile comes in. It reminds me a lot of espelette. This sauce has the perfect amount of heat for me. It’s spicy and flavorful. It has enough heat that it’s a pleasurable burn, but it’s not painful. Very full bodied and quite a tasty chile. The heat is long lasting. For quite a while after eating, the heat is still there. Very long half life.

I mainly use hot sauce on quesadillas and tacos.

I have a chile de arbol hot sauce that is quite tasty, but when the heat hits, it’s painful and has a decant half life. This is the closest sauce I have to compare it to. I have a few different sauces, sriracha, Sambol Olek, Macaya, Tapatio, the list goes on and on.
Raucous Daucus is by far, one of the best sauces I have ever had. I will have to find out how to get some more of this. It is now a staple sauce in my house.

Konata, thank you. Quite tasty and I appreciate you turning me on to a new sauce!

Thanks for good review & the links. I will give it a try soon.

Nice write-up. Makes even me want to try it.

I have two sauces that I like, this one and Secret Aardvark. Both are tasty but this one seems to be tasty because of the pepper. I would love to get some of the actual fresh pepper (one of my favorite fresh peppers right now is the Fresno Chili - sweet with a moderate kick); this pepper seems like it would be nice fresh as well.

The other sauce is tasty (and a bit more kick) but it's mostly because of the other ingredients, not really the pepper itself.

Glad you liked the sauce. I use it often; it's been a great replacement for tabasco and such for me.

Splash Cafe is where I buy the sauce when I go to Pismo Beach / San Luis Obispo.

Gee Whiz Bean, you been chugging that stuff?

My wife and I have been married 51 years and we’re just on our second bottle of Tabasco sauce.

LoL - I was thinking the same thing. Bean used more in a couple of weeks than I did in a whole year. But I was conserving since I only had one bottle. After a recent trip, I have multiple bottles (enough to last until the next trip) so I feel free to use as much as damn well please now.

But I was surprised how much Bean had used so far. They must have really tested it out.

Well, there are not too many good hot sauces available here where I live. So, I just mail-order David's Gourmet Insanity Sauce and his line of Super-Insanity sauces!!!! I especially like his sauce that is Ghost Pepper based.

You Sir, are a true "pepper belly". I love hot sauces, but Dave's products are too hot for me.
