Skeptical about flavor as root beer and energy are two things that just sound off-putting together. I was correct. Root-beer is a sweet treat meant to relax and satisfy a craving. Energy drinks are the opposite of that. This tastes like an enjoyable root beer briefly before fleeting to an energy drink taste that makes what should be an enjoyable "root beer float" flavor into a chemical mishmash of flavors that leaves you more questioning what you drank than enjoying.
Drinkers are split on whether it tastes like A&W root beer, with some finding it enjoyable while others say it's a chemical-tasting mismatch that doesn't deliver the promised flavor.

First energy drink I have had that taste like actual root beer
Label not yet re-checked
Not bad but idk it was hyped up too much
I've waited for this flavor for almost a year and had really HIGH hopes for it. I love A&W soda and Ghost did not nail the taste. Call me too harsh but they could've done better. The first 2 cans I tried had a horrible chemical aftertaste towards the bottom of the can. It's like you should gently shake before opening. Eventually, the 3rd can I had was better but Ghost should've just called this "root beer". I'm not getting much of A&W.
I will preface by saying I’m not a big root beer fan. In my opinion, this tastes pretty spot on with A&W root beer soda. I have had the Ryse and Gorilla Mind root beer flavors and would choose Ghost over the other two.
Ghost gets the high fan boy ratings, but the flavors rarely live up to the hype. This tastes nothing like A&W and is an a D Tier root beer energy drink flavor
This drink was a huge disappointment, I had high hopes and I love ghost, but this one was not it.
also root beer & cream soda, zero sugar, 200 mg
