Apocalyptic Ape #8877 Bearhead Reaper Hot Sauce

Bearhead Reaper – Honeyed Death by Citrus Bear

Bearhead Reaper is what happens when a grizzly bear chugs orange marmalade, discovers Reaper peppers, and decides to open a food truck at the end of the world.

This thing comes in deceptively pretty: apple cider vinegar and orange marmalade hit first with a bright, glossy citrus pop. You get a flash of strawberry and honey sweetness, a little “aww, this is nice,” and then the Reaper pepper mash rips the floor out from under your taste buds. Backup from red habanero keeps the burn climbing, steady and sinister, all the way to full 5/5 meltdown.

Under the chaos, real chef-brain is going on. Carrots and onions add body and natural sweetness. At the same time, tamari sauce, garlic, ginger, and coriander bring a deep, umami, almost teriyaki-adjacent vibe that makes this taste like a gourmet glaze someone absolutely should have warned you about. Thick and glossy so it clings to wings, ribs, and anything else you are foolish enough to coat in it.

Sweet. Citrus. Fruity. Then the bear mauls you.
