The flavor here suffers from the monk fruit, its sweetness domineering the experience with its strange aftertaste and disappointing mouthfeel. Maple pumpkin is hardly tasted, lacking the warming spiciness found around the holidays. Instead, your tongue fights through the funk to find anything from the winter season. The tree sap flavor is the most prevalent during gulps, but grade-A dark amber syrup this is not- this is the kind of taste that pours out from those plastic bottles in the shape of mildly racist caricatures. What we do taste, albeit somewhat, is coffee, but it is a burned, harshly acidic and generally unpleasant. But it is the texture that saddens the hardest, a weak body that fails the flavors at hand. It is tacky on the palate, sticking to your entire mouth as it sinks slowly down your throat. The gellan gum listed on the back of the bottle does injustice to actual cream, but it is unknown if it is for thickening or if its involvement is for another agenda.
The 200 milligrams of caffeine makes for a terrific kick, a buzz that hits hard and fast and lasts for three hours. In the end, Super Coffee Maple Pumpkin does not impress.
