Not at all garlic heavy. It’s a really good balance of spicy sweet and umami.This came up in my IG advertisements literally like, right after looking at this. I swear, I've said something like "socks", in conversation completely disconnected from my phone and next time I visit IG it's got ad after ad for socks. But yeah I've heard good stuff about this one. If it's not garlic heavy I'll probably like it a lot.
