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.

  • Pretty punk packaging, love to see it confuse older generations at concerts when they ask for water and get this. Their face is priceless. Also like that they are partnering at festivals to eliminate plastic bottles, the water is crisp. Not something I would buy unless I was out and forgot my reusable bottle.

  • I love liquid death. Not only does it look cool but it’s also tasty. The teas are also pretty good!

  • The Armless Palmer (and other lightly caffeinated beverages) are delightful. Just a hint of sweetness and good overall flavor given the lower calorie count.

  • definitely overhyped, but man, call me a simp you must. I’m totally into the whole vibe.

  • Nothing special! I dont love sparkling water so take my review with a grain of salt. However, I just dont get the hype

  • Love it! Love that the metal can is super recyclable and the water tastes good and smooth.

  • Put me onto sparkling water. I am not a fan of the packaging or brand identity (far too edgy), but I can put up with it because the product is genuinely superb. The flavors are amazing, there is very very little sugar in each can. The cans are huge, you can get them super easily off Amazon and for much cheaper than other sparkling water (pack of 12 500ml for 13 bucks, about a buck a pop). They are slowly moving to 8 packs of 550ml, which is disappointing not because of value but because I drink them too fast and would rather have the smaller size.

  • I bought a 6 pack for my girls book club movie night. I wanted a more “fun” looking drink since we were meeting on a weekday. I was nervous that there would be a slight metal taste to the water, but there’s was none - only the crisp, refreshing taste of mineral spring water. I was impressed! I feel like the water got colder because of the metal can vs. a plastic or glass container. I wish the bottles came a little smaller, but truly a good product.

  • What's the deal with this water? Expensive water in a can ex-hardcore band people drink, the sparkling one tastes like it was carbonated by a fart. $4/can when my Brita filtered water tastes just about the same. But I don't get the same clout as carrying this can...it's a toss up here.

  • As far as fizzy water goes, this is a goodun. It does kind of taste like sparkling water that was left near some fruit, rather than fruit-flavoured sparkling water, but I'm into that. Packaging is cool and recyclable, and it appeases my inner emo tween that just wants to drink Monster all day.

  • When I would be designated driver for my friends I would usually have a can of liquid death with me. It helps a lot when people see you holding the can they assume you already have a drink instead of trying to buy you a drink or offer you something. Tastes very good and your never hungover;)

  • i mean it tastes like normal water but you feel cool drinking it

  • I have tried all of the Liquid Death Flavors. My favorite flavor is Mango Chainsaw, but the lime flavored comes in a close second. I've tried lots of sparkling waters and Liquid Death has my loyalty.

  • Love the concept of it. Especially as someone who's sober, it's kinda nice to be somewhere like a concert and this is the water they have. Although I don't mind a water bottle, nice to just blend in sometimes and also the recyclable aluminum cans are much better than plastic water bottles. Nice branding on their part-- I remember when this brand just started they were giving them out in New Orleans and my mom didn't know about it yet and she was tricked lol.

  • Good water - no metallic taste from the can, fun branding and nice to have a larger size than most canned waters.

  • Tried the first time at a rock festival and now get it for our drinking water! So good!

  • This water is so flavorful! My favorite is the mango. I have it in my refrigerator at all times. Refreshing.

  • Liquid death is amazing i love it. Got it for my wife lol and now the whole family wants it and begs for it !!

    Friends with Liquid Death
  • This water makes me feel COOL! The flavors are unique, and delicious!

  • Giving it 4 stars mostly because of the branding - the product itself is OK. I’m a sparkling water connoisseur and I found their Lime sparkling water sufficient…but not amazing. Products aside, I think the fact that they’re the water choice at music events is brilliant. As someone who doesn’t drink, you feel like you’re imbibing when you’re holding the can - doesn’t feel like you’re missing out. Also as a marketer, I’m a huge fan of Liquid Death, taking a commodity and making a stand out brand as huge as they’ve become with such gusto and innovation. Bravo, guys!
