What reviewers say
User reviews on major retailers are highly enthusiastic, calling the sauce one of the best they've tried and praising its versatility across meats and burgers. A detailed editorial taste test ranked it seventh out of ten Kinder's flavors, noting it is perfectly tasty but lacks sufficient hickory smokiness to balance the brown sugar sweetness. Overall reception highlights strong sweet flavor with only subtle smoke that works well for those who prefer sweeter profiles.
Pros
- Tastes better than most BBQ sauces
- Versatile on all meats and especially burgers
- Perfectly tasty with nice brown sugar sweetness
Cons
- Smokiness is half-hearted and too subtle
- Can be overly sweet without enough balancing smoke
“Another great way to cut the sweetness in a BBQ sauce without adding spice or tartness is to add a smoky element... In the case of Kinder's hickory brown sugar BBQ sauce, I'd say the attempt at smokiness was indeed half-hearted... the sauce itself was still perfectly tasty, leaning more on the sweeter side thanks to the brown sugar, and it paired well with chicken.”
tastingtable.com →“I love a good hickory BBQ sauce, but much like with a sauce going for a spicy flavor profile, I don't want that flavor inclusion to be half-hearted — I want it to be truly smoky... Ultimately, I think this Kinder's sauce flavor had some redeeming qualities, and if you like a subtly smoky flavor profile with lots of sweet, then you might really enjoy this one. To me, it didn't quite live up to that hickory namesake.”
