I think "bacon flavored" is more appropriate in this scenario, because I really haven't seen pumpkin spice flavor outside of coffee, candy and pastry, whereas a few years ago you can buy bacon flavored gum, ice cream, popcorn, candy, soda, vodka, perfume... etc that it became completely absurd.
@MargotRobbie @negativenull the bacon thing has been over for a while, hasn't it?
Yes, I haven't seen anything bacon related in a long time now.

It's a very similar cultural trajectory than bacon was years before. It'll last longer too since it makes more sense than "bacon flavored" does.
Oh bugger. Guess you're right. 😔
I've seen far too many pumpkin spiced beer. Pumpkin pie flavor is often better, but still not my thing and too common this time of year. I have no issue with pumpkin spice as a flavor, but I don't want it to take the place of other flavors, which it has to because taps are limited.
@Cethin @MargotRobbie correct me if I"m wrong but isn't pumpkin pie flavor and pumpkin spice flavor the same, save the flavor of pumpkin, a fairly bland flavor, added?
Pumpkin spice is only the flavor of the spices added to a pumpkin pie. Pumpkin pie flavor (should) taste like the pie filling in total. It'll be a sweeter smoother flavor. Most of the spices you put in are fairly sharp flavors, so the pumpkin evens it all out.
