GHOST Energy x A&W Root Beer: A Limited-Time Flavor Drop
GHOST Energy's new A&W Root Beer flavor arrives as a limited release with early access on August 6th.
GHOST Energy is teaming up with A&W for its first-ever root beer flavor, bringing the century-old soda name to the brand's zero-sugar, 200mg caffeine can. It's the newest entry in GHOST Energy's growing run of soda collabs, following its 7UP Lemon Lime release, and it's built for fans who move fast on limited drops.
GHOST Energy A&W Root Beer slots into the same lineup covered in full in Bevlab's GHOST Energy Drink breakdown, which walks through the caffeine dose, nootropic stack, and carnitine inclusion that define the brand. This flavor keeps that formula intact and wraps it in A&W's root beer instead.

A&W has poured its root beer since 1919, and the flavor GHOST is chasing leans into that history: vanilla and wintergreen up front, a hint of sarsaparilla, and the smooth, almost creamy finish that made root beer floats a diner staple long before energy drinks existed.
The flavor comes in GHOST's usual 16oz can, so it's a full single serving with no need to split-dose. The label leans hard into the root beer theme: a brown background, the A&W oval logo near the bottom, and bold vertical ROOT BEER lettering running down the left side.
This is a limited-time release. GHOST's Secure-A-Can early access opens Thursday, August 6th at 12PM CT and runs through Friday, August 7th at 11:59AM CT, exclusively through the GHOST app and website. Entrants submit a name, email, and payment method during that window, and selected entrants get notified once it closes. After that, nationwide retail availability is planned for August 31st, though limited runs like this one aren't guaranteed to restock once they sell through.
Quick Formula Check
GHOST hasn't changed the formula for this drop. The can's ingredient panel matches the same list that's defined GHOST Energy since launch.
For the full science behind each active ingredient, see Bevlab's GHOST Energy Drink breakdown. Here's the quick version for this flavor:
- Natural Caffeine (from Coffee Bean) (200mg) - The main driver of the energy kick, dosed identically to every other GHOST Energy flavor.
- Carnipure L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (1,000mg) - A high-purity form of L-carnitine tied to fat metabolism, dosed higher here than in most competing cans.
- Taurine (1,000mg) - A staple amino acid that rounds out the formula's endurance angle alongside caffeine.
- Alpha-GPC (150mg) - A choline source that supports focus and works alongside caffeine and NeuroFactor for GHOST's cognitive angle.
- NeuroFactor (Coffee Fruit Extract) (100mg) - A coffee cherry extract included for a mental clarity boost beyond straight caffeine.
- AstraGin (25mg) - An absorption-support blend meant to help the body take up the other actives more efficiently.
- Vitamins - Full daily values of Vitamin C, Niacin, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin B12 round out the can, matching the rest of the GHOST Energy lineup.
- Other ingredients - Carbonated water, natural and artificial flavor, sucralose and acesulfame potassium for sweetness, phosphoric acid, and sodium benzoate plus potassium sorbate as preservatives.
Other Related Flavors
Root Beer is GHOST's second soda-fountain pull, following 7UP Lemon Lime, which stuck around after its own limited run. If Root Beer follows that same path, expect the brand to gauge demand during the Secure-A-Can window before deciding whether it earns a permanent spot.
