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.

  • Really good stuff! I quit drinking and this is a good alternative. The lime one tasted kind of like sprite but without all off that sugar. I didn't know what the difference between the white and black can was when I bought it but it is still and sparkling water. I'm sure it says it on the can but I didn't check and just wanted to try each flavor.

    Delighted and really enjoyed this

  • Great taste and has that extra cool of a can instead of a bottle.

    Feedback

    I think a good water filter is far more sustainable. I am not convinced that cans are that much better.

  • i like the products, the flavored waters taste good and i like that they come in tallboy cans. they’re conversation starters sometimes! the water isn’t extremely carbonated which i like too.

    their merch is awesome!

  • I mean, it’s canned water. Not a huge fan of water in a can since sometimes it can taste tin-y, but didn’t have a issue with it.

    Love the branding + graphics and their commitment to web3. Didn’t invest in any of their nfts but they looked cool

  • My husband recently got really into these Liquid Death drinks and recommended them to me. I tried the mango one and absolutely love it. He likes the plain seltzer best. The packaging is pretty cool too! I am not a fan of their plain water though, I think it takes on a metallic taste a little more.

  • It seems like Liquid Death came out of nowhere to become the go-to canned water product. I kept seeing ads for it on Instagram and on the shelves of almost every grocery store I went to. One day, out of desperation on a road trip to West Virginia, I caved and decided to try a can. I had no expectations for it - I mean, it's canned water for starters - but after the first sip, my eyes dilated - I was pleasantly taking aback by how tasty it was. I had the mango flavor one and was fully prepared to meet with some artificially flavored substance, but was surprised by how refreshing and real the mango tasted. Will definitely not hesitate to try this again.

  • This stuff get points added for how cool it makes you look. The sparkling water is good enough, and when I tried the lime I didn't dislike it, but the still water is just not good to me. I'm not sure if it's the minerals or whatever is in the source of the water but it's almost viscous? It is water at the end of the day and I'll drink it if I'm thirsty and it's what's available, but I'd be lying if I said the main appeal isn't being seen drinking it.

  • Love the branding. I bought into the brand-- its edgy. It's what I think Red Bull was when it launched. But at the end of the day--- it's water with excellent branding.

    Feedback

    It's water. Good Water. But it's the branding that makes this product-- special.

  • Water tastes great and the can is a conversation starter! If you are trying to be sober around a group of drinkers, this can will get them off your back since it looks boozy!

    Feedback

    No complaints! Great tasting and great packaging!

  • Good water in sustainable packaging. I knocked a star off because I think their flavorings could use work. I like the still and plain sparkling (the carbonation level is just right for me), the lime is okay (I’d probably go with Topo Chico Lime instead), and I wouldn’t buy the mango again.

    If they can find a better way to flavor the waters so it doesn’t come off tasting as fake (looking at you, mango), then I would give their flavored ones another shot.

  • This I don't was a surprise. I think often people have an allergy towards water, but presenting it as liquid death literally makes it more appealing to drink. Because it's placed in aThis I don't was a surprise. I think often people have a allergy towards water, but presenting it as liquid death literally makes it more appealing to drink. Because it's placed in an aluminum can it can also be beneficial for those who just drink water as opposed to alcohol. I would highly recommend.

    I would like to see a RAW more flavors with this brand. There is a lot of flavor profiles that can be added to make this experience more varied

  • Love the packaging

    Feedback

    I had this water for the first time at lollapalooza. Wild cold the water was okay, but as it became room temperature, I did not care for the taste since it is in an aluminum can it it got warm quickly

  • I never feel bad about being the sober friend walking around with this water! Even helps me want to drink water.

  • I love the concept of Liquid Death. But given my seltzer preferences, it's kinda meh for me. I've had the regular seltzer and the mango seltzer options. The bubbles kinda fall a lil flat for me - but I know some people like that. I like really powerful bubbles, lol. The mango was just okay. Overall the water tastes smooth, sorta like Evian but not. Which isn't really my jam.

  • I love the unique concept of this brand. It’s great tasting water, that makes you feel like you’re drinking something cool (and with more alcohol).

  • I didn't know water could taste so good and this is the best water I've ever tasted. I don't know how it's possible but it is. I also love the look of the can because if you go to a bar and don't want to drink you can get this and it looks like you're drinking something cool. A water sommelier on TikTok also said this water still has the minerals that our water lacks so that's great too. Tastes great and is adequately hydrating.

    Love this water and I hope to see it in every bar I go to.

  • Liquid Death has such a clever design and incredible marketing. The water and sparkling water is good. However, it is the cool and unique can and the recyclable factor that make it appealing!
