Great Seasonal Flavor

At 30, I am just now developing my "coffee drinking" taste buds. I bought a Keurig and this was the first type of pod I purchased. Everyone always raves about how its "Pumpkin Spice Season" and I was not disappointed! When I registered my Keurig, I had to get a box of Pumpkin Spice -- even though I already had a box at home. I have since tried more flavors, and I have to say the Pumpkin Spice isn't my #1 anymore (Butter Toffee anyone?!), but it's still in my top 3! It really put me in the Fall/Winter spirit. I am a picky coffee drinker (ie I don't drink it black and like a bit of flavor). I did try to drink this while nursing a hangover once, and the spice in it was a little much for me then! Otherwise, I have been really pleased with this flavor.
Not to bad compared to coffee house pumpkin flavored coffee. If you're looking for something to compare to a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Late this will be a big disappointment
Pros: Balanced Acidity, Pleasing Aroma, Not Bitter, Smooth Taste
I wanted to give these a try because I was buying k-cups in the everything 'pumpkin flavoured' fall season. I'm not a huge fan of any flavoured coffees so I was surprised that I actually really liked this flavour. However I found the taste a little overwhelming (not used to drinking flavoured coffees) so I usually mix it with another (plain) dark roast k-cup and it's perfect. I don't regret buying these at all!
I've had other brands with the pumpkin spice variety that were delicious but this one is horrible. Literally had to pour it down the sink after one sip. I love flavored coffees especially this time of year with all the holiday flavors. This was a major disappointment. I gave it a second try thinking maybe it was a fluke, but the second cup went down the sink too. Green Mountains coffees tend to be more of a light roast, which is what it says..light. Not a bad thing for a cup in the evening or during the day. Stay away from this one, try the other brands if you want the pumpkin spice flavor.
Cons: Unappealing Or Flat Aroma, Roasted Too Light, Unbalanced Or Sharp Acidity, Unpleasant Flavor, Unpleasant Aftertaste, Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body
