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.

  • This brand/product is so stupidly brilliant, I wish I had thought of it. Let's be clear, my rating is 100% a reflection of the branding (the product is literally water in a can). Unlike most startups, Liquid Death understands culture and their consumer at an intimate level. They're in on the joke, but there's also incredible ethos behind the brand's mission. Hardo water that looks like beer to encourage healthier decisions in our drinking-dominant culture... genius.

  • I think it was just like any other sparkling water. I didn't love the lime flavor compared to others that I have tried.

  • Really like the flavors such as mango and iced tea. The plain flavor kind of taste a bit like aluminum.

  • Despite the placement of expensive waters in concert venues and otherwise goofy marketing, I genuinely think that the sparkling water is one of the best out there in terms of taste. I love the fun flavors and am a big fan. My only wish would be for it to be a bit cheaper.

  • I enjoyed this water but I honestly can’t see a difference than regular bottled water. I get that it’s in an aluminum can but it’s more of a novelty in my opinion. If given the choice, based on price, I would most likely pick the cheaper, plastic bottle.

  • This is better known as, “the concert water” It’s hydrating and worth the money!

  • Liquid Death is a unique take on water, served in a can rather than plastic, aligning with their mission to reduce plastic waste. I appreciate their eco-conscious approach, which is much-needed in today's world. What truly stands out for me are their diverse flavors, especially the Rest Peach is my favorite. If it weren't for the current economic struggle to live off minimum wages, my fridge would likely be stocked with all their flavors, including the sparkling water option. Liquid Death offers a refreshing twist on hydration while championing a noble cause.

  • I know this is mostly good branding but I've liked all the products I've tried, sparkling water, still water, tea, flavored water. They're nice to bring to parties if you don't feel like drinking a ton and they're a great grab and go. Also water has a taste and this one tastes good.

  • If you’re looking for a clean tasting water that is refreshing, especially when cold, this is it. Drinking from a cold can definitely keeps the water a lot cooler and overall it’s great tasting water.

  • I love liquid death, I have been looking for a sparkling water and this is it! I’m very picky when it comes to regular drinking water so theres no difference when it comes to sparkling. They give a quantity for the price and taste amazing!

  • Marketing is amazing and flavors are simple and not overdone. I think the price point is a little outrageous as it IS water. That said, I find myself buying it on occasion. Hopefully with further scale, they can create a more realistic pricing model. That said, there is an inherent confidence this product provides and is often a good conversation piece.

  • I don't know if it's the marketing, the awesome can or the stories that go along with it but this water is elite

  • pretty inconvenient at a music festival where it can't be closed -- otherwise perfect! would much rather support these guys than the evil corporate plastic bottle companies!

  • I love liquid death!!! Their flavored drinks are my favorite and I love how it blends in with the alcohol containers when in public

  • A nice option when you’re out at a bar or venue and you don’t want to drink or you need some hydration.

  • it feels so silly to rate water 5 stars but liquid death is worth 5 stars. it's really refreshing and the design is cool, and there's really nothing about it that would make me take away any points

  • Lime is my favorite . refreshing too when your sitting by the pool. I love that the product is bigger than other similar products.
