BevNET Review: While this isn’t the first pumpkin flavored soda that we’ve ever tried, it’s definitely the best. Of course, that’s the result of trying to create a product that you’d actually want to drink as opposed to a novelty that’s intended to make a quick buck. Pumpkin Pie Soda features all of the stuff that Maine Root has come to be known for – high quality (and, in some cases, organic) ingredients, well balanced flavor, just the right amount of carbonation, and Fair Trade Certification. It does, in fact, taste like a liquid translation of Pumpkin Pie, completely with that slightly spiced finish that you’d get from eating a slice of the real thing. The pumpkin flavor is pretty accurate, although the product doesn’t have that creamy feeling that you’ll find in canned pumpkin (that’s fine by us). Packaging is bold and appealing, thanks to the use of bright orange color and a large image of a pumpkin. It definitely fits nicely with the rustic feeling of the Maine Root brand. Overall, an exceptional extension to the Maine Root lineup.

I agree with both of you. I was in one of my favorite stores, Cambridge Naturals, getting some stuff. I walked over to the refrigerated section and saw something different: Pumpkin Soda. I said to myself 'That sounds different, but maybe I should try it'. Something told me to just try it. Then I started to think & I remembered another seasonal favorite: Echo Farm Pumpkin Pudding, which I haven't yet seen this year. I bought it and when I got back in my truck, I just couldn't wait! I took the cap off and took a sip. I was like 'WOW, this is awesome!!!' I also LOVE their Root Beer. I will not drink anyone elses. Main Root is simple the best: refreshing, clean, crisp, not too sweet, and full of unique flavors. If you haven't tried anything from them, you don't know what you're missing!

This stuff rules! Rad soda that really tastes like pumpkin pie, just like them reviewers said. They were also right that you can't taste any whip cream either. Aftertaste is clean and refreshing though... was nervous at first, like, "am I going to like drinking pumpkin pie?"And then I drank a little, and was like, "Dude!" It tasted really really good. I was all, "this is really good!" I'm not a huge pumpkin fan, but this pop might make me re-try that pumpkin beer I keep passing up each afternoon at the BBC Tavern (my corner bar in Greenville DE). These Maine Root guys know how to make some soda. I like their Ginger beer, but this might be my new fave 5. I also like Amy's new Black Bean and CORN patties. Mmmmmm. I had some with this Pumpkin juice last night.... soooo good. Also had it with cherry tomato salad w/ goat cheese. If I could plug a dressing, I get Dean and Deluca's cold pressed olive oil shipped to me her in DE and make my own vinaigrette - this time I drizzled a little garlic dill infused oil and grapefruit juice on the tomatoes... the best! So I guess I'm plugging my own dressing. I think the soda really made the meal though. My boys loved it, so it is most def kid friendly. You will like it too I betcha.
