Appearance

Heartbeat Hot Sauce’s Poirier’s Louisiana Style Hot Sauce comes in a tall and skinny 177ml squeeze bottle. There is a twist lid that makes it easy to dispense. The label on the bottle features a graphic with a diamond and flame and prominently displays the name of the hot sauce.

The hot sauce itself is a thin and watery rusty red color, which pours effortlessly from the squeeze tip.

However, due to its thin consistency, the sauce spreads and rolls away from the pour site quickly. While this may lead to some wastage, it also means that the sauce can cover a larger area.

The sauce is perfectly blended, and there are no bits of ingredients floating around.

Smell

The aroma of Poirier’s Louisiana Style Hot Sauce is a tantalizing mix of tangy, spicy, and earthy notes.

Upon opening the bottle, the initial scent is tangy and spicy. This is thanks to the blend of vinegar, aged cayenne peppers, and red habanero.

The celery aroma is also prominent, contributing to the unique flavor profile of the sauce. As this sauce is fermented, there is also a slightly aged aroma that adds depth to its scent.

The heat of the peppers is detectable in the aroma, but it’s not overpowering. Overall, the smell of this hot sauce is balanced and pleasant, making it all the more tempting to try.

Taste and Flavour

Poirier’s Louisiana Style Hot Sauce tastes tangy and spicy with prominent flavors of aged cayenne peppers and celery.

This hot sauce packs a punch with a celery twist that reminds us of sipping on a Caesar drink.

The aged cayenne peppers give it a smoky and savory taste that’s just right. The vinegar taste is balanced, and the canola oil adds the perfect amount of thickness.

Heat Level

I didn’t break out into a sweat while eating this hot sauce, just a little on my forehead.

Overall, it’s a good head heat that won’t leave you gasping for air or reaching for a glass of milk. So go ahead, pour it on, and enjoy the perfect amount of heat and flavor!
