What reviewers say
The sugar-free Original from Head Country received the lowest score (4.6/10) in a blind taste test of top-selling BBQ sauces, criticized for artificial sweetness from sugar alternatives, thin watery consistency, and vinegar-forward or overly smoky notes with an artificial aftertaste. A single retailer review called it a five-star winner due to solid flavor despite artificial sweeteners. Broader discussions of the brand's regular sauces were more favorable for balanced smoky-sweet taste, though the sugar-free variant's reception remains limited and divided.
Pros
- Well-balanced sweet and smoky flavor with zero sugar
- Positive note on artificial sweetener performance from one user
Cons
- Overly sweet/artificial aftertaste and vinegar-forward flavor
- Thin, watery consistency
- Lowest-rated in blind taste test with some 1/10 scores
“This barbecue sauce from Head Country was the only sauce that received any 1/10 ratings—and it got two of them. Although it’s “sugar-free”, our testers said it tasted overly sweet (perhaps from the added sugar alternative)—and a little smokey too.”
