What reviewers say

3.5 from 60 ratingsMixed reception

Retailer customer ratings for Kinder's Gold Label Cherry Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce average around 4.7 out of 5 across dozens of reviews, with many praising its sweet profile and calling it delicious or worth repurchasing. Editorial reviews from food sites, however, rank it near the bottom of Kinder's lineup, criticizing it as overly sweet with a medicinal or cough-syrup-like cherry note that fails to balance properly. The sauce is positioned as a Kansas City-style sweet BBQ option but draws complaints for lacking tart cherry brightness. Overall reception is mixed, with broad consumer appeal tempered by expert critiques on flavor execution.

Pros

  • Sweet and bold flavor that many customers enjoy
  • Described as super delicious and worth repurchasing
  • Intriguing cherry and brown sugar premise appealing to sweet BBQ fans

Cons

  • Overly sweet with no balancing tartness
  • Cherry flavor comes across as medicinal or like cough syrup
  • Falls flat for some, not a favorite Kinder's variety
  • “Cherry brown sugar is a great example, a BBQ sauce that certainly offered an intriguing premise of fruity-tart and sweet flavors, but one that couldn't quite deliver... the cherry didn't shine through. I kept searching for those fruity notes, and when they did hit, they unfortunately tasted more medicinal (like hints of cherry cough syrup) than anything else.”
