Major Disappointment

This was by far the worst pumpkin spice coffee I have ever tasted. So bad in fact, that I actually needed to come and review it. It was as if there was too much spice and absolutely no pumpkin; the concoction was unappealing from the moment I first brewed it. I went as far as to try and trade k cups with friends to rid myself of it. I would NOT recommend this to a friend.
Cons: Unappealing Or Flat Aroma, Unpleasant Aftertaste, Unpleasant Flavor
I really liked the taste. A great fall coffee, but I really need it in decaf because I'm not supposed to have caffeine. Would love to see it in decaf too!
I love this season and was extremely excited for this version of Pumpkin Spice, since it's my favorite. Unfortunately it has nothing on the Dunkin' Donuts K-cup Pumpkin Spice. Pretty light on flavor. I wouldn't buy this one again.
Pros: Not Bitter, Pleasing Aroma
Cons: Not Enough Flavor, Roasted Too Light, Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body
I enjoy pumpkin flavor, especially during harvest/holiday season. I was excited to get my hands on the GM Pumpkin Spice. I was disappointed to see that it was a light roast, and after brewing it, was disappointed in the lack of flavor. Understanding it is a light roast, I didn't expect a bold taste, however it can use some improvement. Lately I've been able to stop by the local Pilot Truck/Travel Stop and find a brew of Pumpkin Spice or Harvest Pumpkin that is delicious and puts GM's version on the low scale of 'tasty'!
Pros: Smooth Taste, Balanced Acidity
Cons: Roasted Too Light, Not Enough Flavor, Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body, Unappealing Or Flat Aroma
Gives a great alternative to the Fivebucks Pumpkin Spice Latte - a little creamer, and all the flavor I love there. I love that it's made with a blonde roast - my only complaints about it are getting it locally and it being seasonal. This is a flavor I'd buy year round.
