Fresco Sauce Chipotle & Habanero Hot Sauce

Hello again chiliheads! I hope that everyone is well and making it through the doldrums of winter. I myself am counting the minutes until some respite from the cold and dreariness. Perhaps we can all warm ourselves in the interim with some delicious hot sauce. To ring in that hope, lets look at another addition to our ever-growing archives, shall we?
I want to examine the Chipotle & Habanero Hot Sauce by the kind folks at Fresco Sauce today. Fresco Sauce evidently started out by making a sauce to be served alongside dishes at the restaurant Rosemary Grill in 2012. This was with their seminal hot sauce but the company started bottling that sauce and some new ones (including the Chipotle & Habanero Hot Sauce) in 2018 due to customer demand.
The label is simple but one I find appealing. I like the cursive-like quality of the company name as well as the color scheme. I also really enjoy the cubist portrayal of a hot sauce bottle with a drop escaping from the mouth. The sauce color is interesting in that it isn't quite yellow and isn't quite orange but some offspring of the two. It's also dotted with black pepper flakes (presumably). I approve of the initial visual impression given to me.
The pour surprised me somewhat: a relatively slow and controlled pour. This is due to its fairly thick consistency. I thought that it might be a thinner sauce due to it's color (a developed assumption that is obviously unwarranted). It was a pleasant revelation.
The taste is not terribly complex, though by no means unpleasant. The generous amount of garlic comes through as well as a nice pepper flavor, but not a lot past this. It's nice and the addition of carrots to the mix does add a certain undefinable something, but nothing to rent a billboard about. I think it might benefit for the addition of a little more salt.
The heat crept up on me. At first I was disappointed in the apparent lack of burn but, upon further tasting, I discovered that a decent heat is actually present. It hits the tip of the tongue first and provides a pleasant sear there and as it travels to the back of the tongue/entrance to the throat it creates a hot tingling. Also, upon said repeated tastings, expect a lip burn to catch up with you.
Though not a particularly intricate taste, it's still pleasant with a good amount of heat packed within. The $5.99 price tag reveals not a bad deal at all. Plus I like supporting our independent hot sauce-making friends out there and showing a little solidarity. Happy tastings all and I'll see you next week!
