Liquid Death earns enthusiastic reviews for crisp, refreshing still and sparkling water, standout “tallboy” cans, and sustainability-minded aluminum packaging, yet opinions split on whether it’s more branding than substance. Reviews highlight delicious flavors like Mango Chainsaw and Severed Lime and the social ease for non-drinkers, while weaknesses include occasional metallic taste, mild carbonation for some, sweetened flavored lines (agave/stevia), and complaints about a recent source change that altered taste.

  • Love the branding, love that it’s in a tall boy can, flavors so far have been solid, but I go early need more bubbles. I get that’s a personal preference thing so I’m not gonna knock them too hard.

  • As a Canadian I had to travel to try this. On a recent trip to Nashville I finally found this and was so excited. Cracked it open. Tried it and…. I don’t get it. Innovative marketing. I like the recyclable aspect of a can of water (over a plastic bottle) but I was otherwise pretty disappointed. I mean, it was fine. It was sparkling water. But I don’t get the hype.

  • Canned water is better than bottled water, but still not as sustainable as water from the tap. Still, I like that the brand’s aesthetics make it easier for teetotalers and DDs to blend in at concerts and other events. I don’t think I would buy these in bulk if I’m in a scenario where I have access to reusable bottles and a tap, but in a fridge full of bottled water these are clearly the best option.

  • Perfect bubble ratio… I know you know what I’m talking about. You don’t want to be swallowing static and conversely, you don’t want to be drinking the texture of a flat soda. Liquid death has nailed the perfect consistency.

  • it's just water... but makes you feel like you're drinking a beer? Tastes like water, looks like an alcoholic beverage. wouldn't buy at home, but will sometime grab at a bar if not drinking.

  • There are a lot of sparkling water brands out there, and for one that doesn’t offer any additional functional benefits, Liquid Death stood out with packaging. Out of the flavors I tried, I think the watermelon was the best, as it didn’t have that cloying artificial aftertaste. The price is a little high, but worth trying if you find it on sale at whole foods

  • I LOVE the lime. It’s amazing on a hot day. The others are ok. I do love their mission.

  • Its water... in a can. It tastes like water. The fact it is not plastic is great but it seems like a lot of metal for water. Also the packaging looks liquor which is just silly

  • Standard water but with a cool brand that does well at metal concerts. The design is made to look like traditional beer, but is meant for hydration and a certain brand persona.

  • I tried Liquid Death for the first time this past weekend. The water feel very clean, I love it, much better alternative to bottled water for festivals and big events. Big fan now!

  • Hahah I was excited to try but no one in my house would drink any thing called liquid death It’s interesting

  • I love when they have liquid death rather than bottled water at music fests etc because of the easy recycling!!

  • I am a water snob and this is one of my fav water brands! It’s so clean tasting and love the can.

  • My favorite flavor is the berry it alive! I love drinking sparkling water out of a can, it's extra crisp and carbonated.

  • Lime flavor is my favorite. Love to have this if I’m not in the mood to drink but I’m at a social gathering.

  • I really like the packaging for when you go out. But it really is just water nothing special. I wish the price was lower because I would prefer to buy cans over plastic.
