Less than mild

I felt this sauce had very little flavor and no heat at all.

Took my hot chocolate to a brand new level!!

Hot chocolate and cocoa is pretty bland and used to add dash of cayenne to brighten up the sugary sweet taste. Just a zing of heat makes the drink much more exciting... Bu this hot sauce made it even better with bit of blueberry flavor with chocolate/cocoa and just the right amount of heat.

Much much tastier than just cayenne in the drink.

Great First order!

I have ordered for the first time for Christmas presents (and myself). GREAT experience from the order to receiving to using the products! A huge family hit (some more heat than expected) but great all the way! Thanks for exceptional service. Rick

Boring...

I tend to like the triple XXX hot level, hotter than most people can take. But otherwise, I expect extremely good flavor if the sauce is not intended to be very hot. Big Red One was neither. I emptied half the bottle onto my omelet and was completely dissatisfied. It might as well have been Pace or something other generically corporate sauce from a standard grocery store.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts—we really appreciate you giving our Big Red One Hot Sauce a try and providing such detailed feedback.

We know heat preferences and flavor expectations can vary widely, especially for fans of higher-heat sauces like the Triple XXX line. We always love hearing our customers’ perspectives.

Thanks again for sharing your experience and for being part of the Pepper Joe’s community.

Best regards,

Nice Flavor

Not overly hot with a nice flavor. With the right amount bite, the garlic makes the difference.

Ghost Reaper

This is one of my favorite hot sauces ever! It goes well with a lot of food like pizza,chili,soups,ramen and even macaroni and cheese. I really like to add it to queso blanco dip and other chip dips. Especially for a pepper head like me. I will be ordering more soon. Also the reaper jerky was amazing!

Where’s the heat?

The sauces had outstanding flavor, all of them. However there really wasn’t much of a spice kick like I expect with Reaper sauces.
