Origin: (Royal) Tunbridge Wells, UK.
👁 Nice dainty little bottle. Same setup as @peckhamsauceco bottle wise but that’s not a bad thing. I mean how many hot sauce companies use that boring old Worcester sauce bottle? We used to! The label is cool too.
👃 Nose isn’t giving too much away. I can definitely detect the Reapers as you can’t really miss them and a little back nose tang from the citrus but that’s about it.
👅 Sour and tart is what I get first. The citrus from the orange is really pleasant. You get the pepper flavour from the Reapers after that, I’m also detecting a hint of some cheeky spices. The heat is very slow-acting and as is often the case with Reapers and that’s why this is a 4. To get a heat experience that f**ks you up you really need another, more fast-acting chilli. It’s hot though, don’t get me wrong. You just have to wait a little. Flavour wise it’s delicious but for my tastebuds could do with a little more seasoning. There’s a touch of bitterness which might be the coffee but there’s not enough of it for me to be sure.
👭 This is pretty versatile. Deffo great for a burger but the citrus-edge also lends itself perfectly well to a salsa or even some roasted veg.
🍕 It’s a good consistency. A tiny bit of separation but that’s fine when it’s all natural. I’d slather this over lots of my food. _ To conclude it’s a banger. Feel like with a few really tiny tweaks this sauce could be in the hot sauce hall of fame.
