Es un eslogan de una cerveza de raiz. Apelo a su creatividad

Barq's has bite means that it has that extra carbonation that burns your throat as you swallow. Unlike A&W and Mug root beers which are smoother in taste, Barq's does have that extra "burning" bite that some folks really love.

Recarga tus pilas con Barq’s
Explanation:
Other possibilities:

Ponte pilas con Barq’s

Despierta tu boca con Barq’s

Barq’s: El despertar que aguarda tu boca

*******

All these ideas convey the sense of the original that the root beer in question has a certain distinctive kick to it.

You might even try to work out a solution with “patada”, “bote”, “respingo”, or “sobresalto”. A phrase that rhymes in Spanish would be ideal.

Of course, the word play in the English original is untranslatable, evoking the common expression that “the dog has a lot of bark but no bite.”

“barq’s has bite!”
¡Barq's te hará rugir!


Explanation:
Por ejemplo (modo creativo); hacer rugir por estar muy rica la cerveza; por el burning bite en la garganta; y por un cierto aroma al juego original (bark-ladrar/rugir).
