17th Street Barbecue Sauce Apple City Red is a truly excellent balance of bright and sweet tomato with tangy vinegar and a complex, yet harmonious mix of spices that worked both on and off the grill, makes Apple City Red a go-to choice for just about any application. A tangy and spicy tomato aroma greets you on first whiff of this sauce. The smell is straightforward and not overly complex with its bright, acidic tomato base that has some sweetness behind the more dominant vinegar.
There’s also a definite peppery heat in there that has a layered smell, with slight smoky and earthy notes to go along with the spice. This glossy, smooth sauce has a rusty red hue and is semi-opaque. This makes it easy to see the tons of spices that come in black, red, and white specs in various sizes. The sauce’s consistency is medium-thin and it falls in a quick, continuous, and syrupy pour from a suspended spoon. Once most of the sauce has fallen, a couple final drops release, and a medium coating of sauce is left clinging to the silverware.
