The last 2 times I ordered this, it was thin and had a metallic taste (awful). Used to be very good. Anybody had good experience lately?

My most recent order was 6-8 weeks ago; no metallic taste at all. Good & spicy hot sauce.

I just hung up the phone with them because I had the same problem. They confirmed with me that the DID change the recipe. Made it thinner because people complained about it not coming out of the bottle easily. I said they should have changed the bottle, not their delicious sauce. Oh well... time to find another favorite.

I ordered this a couple of months ago and it was totally legit. I put it my stirfy and stews so I can't vouch for a metallic taste. But my roommate and boyfriend were all over it too. No one had any complaints

Nope, no metallic taste. But Hot and tasty, yes Indeed. I will be buying more...and more....and MORE!!!!!!

I have ordered this twice over the past year and never experienced that flavor. Both times the sauce was very hot, but very tasty and not thin or metallic tasting. Maybe you have kidney stones?

I understand, I was introduced to this buy accident but I loved it so much I kept ordering it when I needed it. I had an order really @#$% up but they made good on it. Yes they made good with 3 times the amount of what with stuff I did not order!!It all comes down to if you are going to dilute or water down your product tell them!! Their is no doubt the new ordered stuff is just a watered down version of the original.

I gave this as gift and didn't ask if was good because they would say it was good even if it made them sick that's how people are; well most are.

No, although I do seem to notice that it is weaker than before. However, the flavor is still really good.

I don't know. But since the quality and freshness was not up to par, I would look elsewhere. Check out "illy" at illyusa.com and coffeeam.com A couple of my favorites.

I LOVE the old raspberry- the 'new and improved' flavor is awful. It is way too sweet and now has a sweetner wang to it I camnot stand. I think their test market must have been a bunch of 12 year olds. I have given it to several friends to try and no one so far has liked it. Please write to Alacer to tell them how you feel!

I have read reviews from others that say they have noticed a metallic taste. I have had mine for several months, and have not noticed a problem with the taste.

I was shocked by the varying quality of my latest order. Mine, too, were thin and cheap. I am not sure if the quality has improved.

I read that the company changed suppliers. All I know is the last three bottles was in no way the same taste and potency. You couldn't buy the 1 lbs jar until now. It has been months since you could buy anything larger than 1 once. I switched to Kal. It still has the potency but NuNatural had better taste, not anymore.....

My wife and I both like "RedHots" brand. We bought THESE because of the low cost. We found Hoosier Hill to be just about as good as RedHots. My tastebuds are in very good shape, and we found NO problem like you described. Sounds like your batch got contaminated somehow.

Customers have been complaining about this problem for several months. I had the same experience with an order at the end of July. I just called Nutramax to ask if they had gone back to their previous formula and they confirmed that they had. So, I'm going to order it again, but only when there's some assurance that the product being shipped is from replaced inventory, not the hard stuff.

This coffee is normally good. The company is no longer selling this product I'm not sure why and it's been going on for months. I actually bought this product from someone and when I received it was totally alarmed because it tastes like dirt. Do not buy it from anyone because the original company is no longer selling it. But like I said the original one is awesome that's why I took the risk to buy it online. Not a good idea.

i didn't realize they changed their formula. if it's true that it's back to their original product, i'd give it another chance. i suppose the organic natural grocery stores might have something similar but i haven't shopped there recently. try the vanilla, it's my favorite.

I have ordered it repeatedly and never had that problem. It's our favorite. Maybe you received a bad batch?

I had the same issue with my last order. When I ran out, there was not time to order from Amazon, as we were going away. I bought some from my vet. They were nice and soft, like they used to be. Perhaps Amazon should reconsider their supplier or keep fewer in stock, so they do not become hard and stale.

I also have had this experience. I have been buying this for years from Amazon and a local organic grocer. I agree that both the smell and taste is awful and I am considering changing brands. Even returned one because I thought something was wrong with it, but the replacement is the same. I would love to know what has been altered. I have a fairly high tolerance, but this is really bad.

I bought from 2 different places. 1 sold me last years blend and it's a bit stale-tasting. The other was this year and I am enjoying it as much as I always do

We stopped taking this because they changed the flavor. From what I can tell it's because they started using Stevia in the new formulation. I compared my old jar to the new one and that's the only difference I can see. My kids used to love them, now they just taste nasty!

My last 2 orders tasted terrible, too. That's 960 bags of bad tea. I abandoned the brand after 20 years and switched to Yorkshire Gold. The stuff PG Tips is currently selling inside the US is not the same as the UK blend, and it tastes about as bad as any US grocery store brand.
