Kroger Hot Sauce

It would be hard to come up with a more generic name than "Hot Sauce" if not impossible. This sauce is available at Kroger for about $1, I'm not sure if it is made by them or made by someone else and they just slap their label on it.  I classify it with Franks Red Hot, Texas Pete, Louisiana and the like as a Louisiana style sauce, not really hot at all, but for flavor.  I use these sauces alot, the way most people use ketchup. They are not all the same to me I like Franks the best, Texas Pete second and Kroger comes in third.

It has a slightly more cayenne pepper flavor bite than Franks and Texas Pete but less of a cayenne flavor bite than Louisiana. It is one of my staples and a bottle lasts me about a month or three depending on how many other bottles of sauce I have at the time. Garlic is one of the ingredients but I can not detect any pronounced garlic flavor.

Kroger also make a "hotter" version of their sauce that I'll write about another time.

On my scale of 1 to 10,  I give Kroger an 8 in flavor and a 1 in heat.  It adds a tiny amount of heat with basically no discomfort.
I could not find a Scoville rating for Kroger hot sauce, but based on Franks being 450 and Texas Pete being 750 I'm going to guess this is around 500.
