![]() Kudos, Bud Light, for giving us another way to sip fall's signature flavor! The first sip was filled with pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of vanilla that had my taste buds pleasantly intrigued - was this my new favorite drink? I was so impressed that I had to pass it around to my friends to confirm, and they agreed - this pumpkin spice seltzer was freakin' good. However, after venturing to a cabin tucked away in the mountains of northern New Hampshire, Bud Light's Pumpkin Spice Seltzer made me question if fall was my "thing" after all. I do enjoy fall, and the occasional Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks is always a treat, but it's not my "thing," if you will (I'm more of a summer girl). These are silly, but they actually managed to capture the flavors correctly.I'll admit, I'm not your average fall-obsessed pumpkin-spice-lovin' chick. I also applaud Bud Light Seltzer for their creativity. Just be warned, the sensation of drinking a cold, carbonated version of flavors you’ve only tasted warm is just confusing for the brain. I’d say these are a fun novelty to purchase with friends and try once. I think this is the one I would reach for if I purchased the pack again, which is actually very surprising to me since I normally gravitate toward fruity drinks and was expecting to like the maple pear or apple crisp the most. You just get some of the spice you expect in a pumpkin pie filling and a hint of sweet pumpkin. I actually think I liked this one? It tastes the least sickly-sweet out of all of them, but doesn’t overwhelm with a cinnamon flavor. So, I was expecting the flavor of that drink, sans the coffee taste. I realize that this is maybe not supposed to taste like pumpkin spice latte. I can’t knock it because the flavor tastes exactly like what they said, and I’m just the fool drinking them. I wasn’t sure what to expect of this one because what does a toasted marshmallow taste like? In my mind, it just tastes “sweet.” Once I drank it, I was like “yup, that’s marshmallow,” but not regular marshmallows - instead the artificial marshmallow fluff you can buy in that jar. I’d say this drink whispers pear and screams maple, but I would maybe drink it again. The maple comes almost as an aftertaste, but once it hit, I couldn’t get another sip where I could even taste the pear. It starts off more light and refreshing, though I can’t immediately identify the taste as pear. This one has a less overwhelming flavor than the apple crisp and the toasted marshmallow. I don’t mind maple, but I’ve never fantasized about drinking maple syrup. I love pear so I was hoping it would lean more toward the pear flavor than the maple. This is the one I was the second-least dubious about. If you’re looking for a refreshing type of drink, this is not it. But I know it tastes more dessert-y and less apple-y. ![]() I’ve never had an apple crisp, which is a type of dessert with baked apples rolled in brown sugar and oats, so I cannot tell you if it actually tastes like that. However, the flavor scientists must have leaned more toward the “crisp” part of the name, because it had a very cinnamon-forward taste and was very, very sweet. I expected it to be similar to an Angry Orchard or Redds Apple Ale flavoring. ![]() ![]() In my mind, this was bound to be the most “traditional” type. It’s not a cheap purchase, retailing at about $14.99 for a pack of twelve, so this is also a public service before you possibly buy something you’re going to hate. Since I predicted the Pumpkin Spice flavor, I feel that it is my honor - and duty - to taste the pack and rate it for you.
