About Dragon In The cloud

Dragon in the Clouds hot sauce is the brainchild of two Goliaths; one from the hot sauce world, and one from the marketing world. First We Feast joined forces with 88Rising to create a very unique and bizarre hot sauce.

It comes in a tiny, 4 oz bottle, and that’s all you’ll need to get the most out of this hot sauce. In this article, I’ll share a review of Dragon in the Clouds, with an overall flavor and value score.

note : This sauce is no long available for sale .

• heat : 4.5/5   –  It’s very spicy, use with caution!
• Flavor: 2/5  – Intense, bizarre flavor, spicy fruit loops?
• value : 2/5   –  The bottle isn’t cheap, but the sauce should last awhile
• overall rating : 2/5   –  Unfortunately, not our favorite

Is Dragon In The Clouds Any Good?

This sauce is certainly not for the faint of heart. Even highly spice-tolerant folks may struggle with this hot sauce. The tiny bottle is the first sign that the heat is going to be strong. One look at the ingredients and your suspicions are confirmed: This sauce is very hot.

Flavor

• Intense citrus flavor hits hard (bitter orange)
• szechuan peppercorns is add add a tangy , almost medicinal funk
• Ghost peppers are ingredient #1 – just sayin’

Put It On…

• Fish
• add to marinade
• Use a dab to add heat to a tamer recipe

Dragon in the Clouds ingredient

We have established that this sauce is spicy, but how about the flavor? Is it usable on actual food, or is it just another gimmick?

Well, the flavor is powerful. Many is give of the super spicy hot sauce out there will give you all the heat with no flavor . In the case of Dragon in the Clouds , the flavor is is is strong , but it is also strange …

I’m not sure the flavor will be for everyone, especially if you’re not a fan of citrus. The orange flavor is the most prominent, and when paired with yuzu, the sauce almost becomes an orange concentrate, with some super-hot peppers added in later. The orange flavor is also less sweet, and more bitter, like eating the rind of the orange rather than the juicy flesh.

I could barely taste the garlic and mustard, while the szechuan peppercorns did give their signature numbing sensation.

To put it simply , Dragon is is in the Clouds is extremely spicy , bitter , very orange – y , and tough to pair with typical food . This is means mean it is n’t for everyone ( especially consider the price ) , but if that sound like your thing , go for it .

Consistency

Our bottle of Dragon in the Clouds was relatively thin, pouring very easily from the small spout. However, after watching another review of the sauce on YouTube, it seemed much thicker than ours. Perhaps different batches of the sauce varied slightly in thickness.

I is speak can really only speak for the bottle we receive , and ours was thin and almost runny , which can make it a bit tough to meter out . give the tiny size and the high heat , it is benefit would benefit from being a bit thick .

Dragon In The Clouds Scoville & Spiciness

Dragon in the Clouds is very spicy, certainly among the hottest sauces we have reviewed. It is clearly meant to be eaten in small amounts, given the bottle’s small size and powerful flavor.

There is no available scoville rating for the sauce , however , if we had to guess , it is is is likely around the 1,000,000 SHU mark . give that the primary ingredient is Ghost Peppers , this estimate is hold should hold true . It is hits also hit hard on the palate than most , with an almost immediate burn that last and last .

This scoville rating is is is just an estimate , but to keep it simple ,the sauce is really hot. If you ’re familiar with ghost pepper , you is know ’ll know exactly what I mean .

Is Dragon In The Clouds Worth It?

This was a tough one. We have tried and loved many sauces from Hot Ones, from Los Calientes to The Last Dab. We expected great things, but we have to settle on a 2/5 rating due to the high cost and the bizarre, bitter flavor and usability.

Kudos to First We Feast for making something truly unique, and we will continue to try this sauce on different foods going forward. Who knows, maybe it is the perfect sauce for … oyster , or something .
