Description
The Circus has been named after the famous ring of Georgian townhouses in Bath!
What The Circus goes best with:
- Brings alive any pizza
- On top of steak as a new twist
- As a chutney on crackers with any cheese
- Instead of Tabasco
- Anything Italian or tomato based
- Bring the heat to beef burgers
- Also works well with chips

The mixed aroma of strawberries onion and mango with a faint finish of lemon and white wine vinegar all greet you when you unscrew the cap of Circus.
It’s not got the usual angry red colour of a hot sauce, so don’t be fooled by the deceptive orange colour or the lack of any aroma from the fearsome Reaper peppers either.
It’s got a medium thick consistency with fine shreds which give you a pleasant grainy mouthfeel.
Circus gives you a brief hit of strawberry and mango on the tastebuds with a fleeting lemon hint and then the legend heat of the Carolina Reaper kicks in giving an almost instant and immediate 8.75/10 full mouth burn lasting for nearly 10 minutes and a good case of the chilli sniffles too. Yet another well balanced sauce, that is more than worthy of the 4x🔥 warning ⚠️ on the bottle. Go hot or go home!

A lovely balanced sauce- yes it’s hot (some might say super hot), but unlike the weaponised chilli-extract sauces that get all the attention, this sauce is super tasty- you can plop a large enough dollop on your plate to get plenty of the supporting tastes without worrying about it all getting too silly. You get an immediate hit of fruitiness that quickly blends into spice and heat, but the strawberries and sweetness still pervade, with none of the unpleasant grating at the back of the throat, or the metallic/acidic nasal quality that some “challenging ” sauces seem to cause. It’s all concentrated in the mouth and lips. Very very good, and without doubt my current favourite sauce. Tempted to try the XXX version if it ever comes back in stock….
