REVIEW: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Root Beer Float Cereal

/ / Reviews / 4 Comments

Festive box for Fourth of July

Cinnamon Toast Crunch has a long history of seasonal variants of its flagship cereal, and for the summer of 2026, it has introduced a new flavor: Root Beer Float.

(The box is decorated with red, white, and blue fireworks. Many companies this summer are introducing apple pie flavors for America250, so I’m a little surprised CTC didn’t rebrand its excellent Apple Pie Toast Crunch from fall/winter.)

Looks like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but it isn't

I was a little skeptical because root beer and cereal don’t usually go together. But then again, I’ve enjoyed the other seasonal varieties.

And this was no exception!

Editor here: that looks like a gigantic serving of cereal

Both dry and in milk, this cereal has a distinct root beer flavor. But it still has the usual cinnamon and wheat/rice grain flavor. There’s no mistaking the root beer, but it doesn’t clash with the other elements. The texture is the same as regular CTC: crunchy, softens in milk, doesn’t get soggy that fast.

Another closeup of the cereal. Use it as your phone's wallpaper

As for the “float” part: I don’t taste a vanilla ice cream flavor, but it would be hard to detect something so mild along with the stronger flavors. But that doesn’t bother me. I figure the milk fills the creamy role of ice cream.

Would've been impressive if the milk ended up bubbly. Come on, science!

About that milk: I tried the cereal with both skim milk and 1 percent, and the 1 percent at the bottom of the bowl seemed to have a slightly stronger root beer flavor. But in either case, it wasn’t very profound, nothing like what you would get at the bottom of an actual root beer float. I’m not really disappointed, though; the cereal is the main attraction.

I'm definitely not sharing what floats my boat.

Root beer cereal sounds weird, but you needn’t be frightened. General Mills did a great job of making a cereal taste like root beer and still be enjoyable.
