I love Reaper peppers and i love garlic, its not very thick but has some pieces which makes a superior hot sauce, I probably use a teaspoon full on my food so maybe 3 out of 5 on heat, flavor i would say 4 out of 5. Great on pizza, spaghetti, burgers and sandwiches, grilled chicken. Just give me Reaper Evil and a large pizza and its a great day!
