Liquid Death earns polarizing reviews: many praise its crisp still and sparkling waters, edgy tallboy cans that help non-drinkers blend in at concerts, and recyclable aluminum packaging; others call it “just water,” note metallic or flat tastes, and dislike sweetened flavors and the recent source change to Virginia. Fans highlight flavors like Mango Chainsaw, Severed Lime, Berry It Alive, and teas (Armless Palmer/Dead Billionaire), while critics cite bitter stevia aftertaste, limited carbonation, non‑resealable cans, and inconsistent flavor quality.

  • 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.

  • I love the recycling aspect. The water was good, but not worth the cost in my opinion.
