  • Crisp, refreshing water taste
  • Edgy, conversation-starting packaging

  • Non‑resealable tallboy cans

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 sparkling water addict, I love this brand. Very refreshing water. Not a fan of the flavored waters, however.

    Feedback

    There is sugar added to the flavored waters, and I am not a fan of added sugar when I was expecting a simple sparkling water.

  • It was wet. It was cold. And it didn't taste like anything (sorry for all you Evian lovers). I like water and therefore, I like Liquid Death. But the water in this case is really the entry point. They had to get that part right to do all the other fun things that they are doing, all of which I feel they do incredibly well. Great story, fun marketing, and environmental awareness and message that I can get behind. What's not to love?

    Feedback

    Nothing. I never thought about water in a can until Liquid Death and now it's just another fact of life.

  • Love the company's branding and promoting moderation/

  • I feel pretty stupid writing a review for water, but Liquid Death is seriously such a smart format for water. Cold water stays cold for longer, and its just infinitely more refreshing. Good for the environment to boot. From my understanding a lot of sober folks use it at parties to have in their hand, etc. A lady at the grocery store thought it was a beer, so I think there's legitimacy to that!

  • Come for the hilarious branding. Stay for the actually delicious alps spring water. This stuff is great.

  • Perfect for parties when you want something I your hand but you don’t want to drink. Looks cool and tastes great.

    The price is a little high for canned water, but it’s worth it.

  • The water is actually really good! I love that you can recycle the can instead of a plastic bottle.

    Nothing!

  • Obsessed with the branding. Willing to pay a little bit more knowing the brand's mission. The flavored sparkling water is amazing–it uses a tiny bit of cane sugar to make it taste better than sugarless competitors. When you're in the mood for a sweeter drink but don't want something with too much sugar, this is the perfect option.

    Feedback

    Would love to see the flavor options expand.

  • I love the gag of the brand and that it does give the look of drinking beer at a party if I didn't feel like drinking.

    Feedback

    It's a bit expensive by the can compared to getting a 12-pack of La Croix somewhere else. If they do smaller cans at a similar price point in the future, I would buy that more often.

  • Amazing packaging, crisp sparkling water, and great for social events. My office purchased cases of these, and it was such a fun way to stay hydrated and cool to drink.

    Feedback

    This is a great idea for non-alcohol drinkers who want to hold something tangible instead of a water bottle at a bar. Genius!

  • I mean it's water, but delicious water!

    Feedback

    From an advertising perspective, I think that their commercials with pregnant women drinking this water are a bit interesting. Until they have more brand recognition, I think most pregnant women wouldn't want people assuming that they're drinking alcohol if seen with one of these. For water, I wouldn't spend this much money on a regular basis.

  • if you like topo Chico, you'll like their sparkling water. the perfect amount of bubbles. Great container that makes you feel like you're drinking at parties when you're sober

    Feedback

    pleaseeee more flavors for the sparkling water

  • I don’t drink, I go to parties and sit there feeling not as much as an adult because people notice me not drinking. I’m usually drinking sparkling water. This sparkling water looks like a beer can, no one questions me, now. I’m incognito at parties!

  • Tried Liquid Death for free. I seriously thought I was getting a free beer at first! Fun packaging and the water tasted crisp, but I'm not one who can easily differentiate water quality... water is water.

  • Ok - say what you want about the brand (I think it's clever, but a lot), but I really DO like the taste. I love drinking water from a can, and this brand tastes particularly.... soft.

  • LOVE the names of their products. Very cool marketing behind it, with names like Dead Billionaire (for Arnold Palmer), Cherry Obituary, etc. I've tried a few different flavors and they all are refreshing, slightly sweet and enjoyable.

  • Is it water in a can? Yes. Is it better than any other canned/bottled water? No. But do you look cool while drinking it? Also no, but there might be a small subset of people that think you're in-the-know on cool marketing, but also maybe you are just straightedge and appreciate the macabre branding. Also, the sparkling version is not very punchy.

  • This product is really funny but tastes great at the same time. My friend brought this to class and everyone thought it was drinking beer. I LOVE ALL THE FAVORS!!!! Lime is my fav.I have yet to try the plain water but that is next.

  • I really wanted to love Liquid Death, but something about the aftertaste is just a little off putting to me. I am a fan of their packaging and design, but I just don’t enjoy the taste of the water as much as I do other brands.
