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 huge la croix fan I broke down and tried this after seeing it on literally every podcast ever. I guess I expected it to be sparkling so that was different. Tastes like a very clean but very standard artesian water. Nothing to write home about.

  • This water is phenomenal. It is so cold after you take it out of the refrigerator from being canned. The water takes smooth and clean. Love everything about it!

  • Water in a can??? Ok, I was also really weirded out by this concept. Until it was the most viable non alcoholic option at a Jonas Brother's outdoor concert on a hot July day and I was forced to buy this and it felt like the heavens opened up. When I tell you that I didn't know that water could taste *so* crisp. I'm also a little bit of a water snob much to my husband's dismay. I won't drink out of the tap. I rarely drink anything that isn't spring water unless I'm dying of thirst. So I will be the first to find a reason why I don't like a type of water. Not only is the regular water delicious (and comes in an awesome can that doesn't make me feel FOMO for not sipping on a beer when I'm just not feeling it. + RECYCLABLE) but the sparkling water flavors are SO GOOD and the teas are so flavorful and just the perfect amount of caffeine. My two favorites are Rest in Peach and Dead Billionaire (formerly Arnold Palmer, hehe.) I highly recommend it if you want to stop drinking water with *hints* of flavor like other sparkling water brands and go for some really delicious stuff.

  • Liquid Death to many is just water in a can, but you can't help smiling when you drink it. I usually wait to buy it when there is a promotion, but as we generally drink bottled water, Liquid Death is our splurge. Crisp and refreshing water. I mean, just look at the packaging!

  • This brand had the right idea on marketing, their cans are eye catching and to be honest pretty damn cool. I would call myself a water snob, there are a lot of water company’s that just don’t have good tasting water but Liquid Death is one of the top 3 best in my opinion, crisp and refreshing.

  • Alright, so let's talk about Liquid Death water. First off, the name? Absolutely metal! It's like your hydration is on a mission to rock your world. Now, packaging? Killer! I mean, it looks like a tall boy of your favorite brew, but it's pure, crisp mountain water. The can is badass, and it stands out like crazy in your fridge. But it's not just about the looks. The water itself? Refreshing as heck! I'm talking about that straight-from-the-mountains kind of freshness that hits the spot every time.

  • First tried Liquid death at a concert. Then didn’t see it again for a bit. But now I go through about a case a week. Clean crisp water in a can, it’s good. Not very good at about water intake, unless I have Liquid Death. Buy it, bet you like it. And it’s recyclable, and not plastic!!! #nomoreplastic

  • I love their branding. Good sparkling water. However, for the price, I prefer Topo Chico. I usually choose a cheaper brand though (Rambler) because it's cheaper and I slightly prefer the taste.

  • On a vacation to Nashville, we were served Liquid Death in a restaurant. Thought it was alcohol at first. Loved the flavor, the can and the recycling! Now it is available in my area and I’m spreading the word!

  • Liquid Death certainly brings a new spin to the beverage market with its punk rock approach to branding and packaging. Don't let the edgy, tall-boy beer-like cans fool you – they are filled with purely hydrating, mountain-sourced water that’s both refreshing and environmentally friendly. The water comes in two varieties: Still and Sparkling. Both types are sourced from the Austrian Alps, which, in my experience, delivered a crisp, clean taste with every sip. The Sparkling variety provides a lovely fizz that's just right, not too overwhelming, and adds an enjoyable twist to the hydration process. The brand has a strong commitment to sustainability, using recyclable aluminum cans instead of plastic bottles, which is a significant step towards reducing plastic waste. However, the price point is notably higher than your average bottle of water, reflecting its premium positioning and eco-friendly efforts. In terms of marketing, Liquid Death certainly targets a specific demographic with its unconventional approach. Its irreverent brand voice and the use of heavy metal aesthetics can be a turn-off for some, but for those who appreciate a brand with a sense of humor and a flair for the nontraditional, it's a hit. Overall, Liquid Death Mountain Water is not just a water brand; it's a statement. With its quality sourcing, eco-conscious packaging, and audacious branding, it breathes new life into the realm of bottled water. If you're willing to pay a premium for sustainability and appreciate a brand that dares to be different, then Liquid Death is worth a try.

  • PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING! Over the years I've spent thousands on liquid death, I've tried every single one and this is my honest review. The 16.9 Oz cans are amazing! If you drink the mountain water it's bottled from the source in the alps and is truly refreshing! The best water a guy could ask for, and it saved my life 2 years ago when I decided to stop drinking alcohol and change my life. Fast forward to 2023 and liquid death abandoned everything they stood for. THE 19.2 OZ CANS ARE A SHAM! NOT ONLY DO YOU GET LESS WATER FOR THE MONEY.. THE WATER IS NOW BOTTLED IN VIRGINIA AND IT TASTES LIKE TAP WATER! PLEASE BOYCOTT LIQUID DEATH UNTIL THEY GO BACK TO THE ALPS. SHRINKFLATION TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE AND YALL SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR THE DECEIT.

  • The first time I had Liquid Death was in Philly at the Alanis Morrisette concert. I was melting in the heat and I don’t drink alcohol. I found Liquid Death at a vendor and was instantly hooked. It was invigorating, thirst quenching and cooled me down with the best taste ever. I was excited to find at my local stores later and the bonus of aluminum being recycled more than plastic is great for the planet. I can’t believe that I’ve found water that taste so much better than other water, it blows my mind but I’m definitely not going back to plastic. I’m very disappointed that it seems Liquid Death has sold out on their loyal fans, our souls and even their own product 🤯. Their original Liquid Death Still water stated that they bottled the water directly from springs in Austria from the Alps!! It tastes like the best water ever, I can’t even explain how wonderful this water tastes and refreshes. Well that’s the water in the 16.9oz can but now they just slid in a 19.2 Oz can of the still water and suddenly it taste like water canned in Bland County, Virginia USA and guess what it’s BLAND just like the place it comes from. So why is the 16.9 Oz can from FRANKENMARKTER AUSTRIA and the 19.2 Oz can is from BLAND COUNTY VIRGINIA USA. What The F**K

  • I have branded myself as a water and sparkling water connoisseur! I personally prefer sparkling over still, and Liquid Deaths sparkling water is one of the BEST I've had to date. The crisp taste is out of this world. Just the perfect amount of carbonation, and its just a clean and refreshing taste. This stays stocked in my fridge at all times, and I have recommended to so many friends and followers. I've also included a review of it on my blog: https://www.thebigbluedebutante.com/drink-more-water-and-mind-your-business-in-2023/

  • Ever thought of drinking soda, but also trying to be healthy? This is the drink for you. Way better than other carbonated water. The artwork is a plus.

    Feedback

    Adding more carbonation.

  • WATER IN A TALL BOY? YES PLEASE. I had Liquid Death here in San Diego when they were giving out samples at a local BBQ joint. T'was hot as balltz. And some day it's just too hot to drink so you need a beverage that makes you look cool just standing there. I have to say that probably the best part of my experience was reading the can. Whoever came up with that copy deserves a got daym writing prize. Was my thirst murdered? Well, let me just say that Liquid Death belongs on the Death Row for heinous acts of destroying thirst in both a sparkling and still manner.

    Feedback

    Amazing. Probably expand the line to some other murderous ways to tame your thirst like Metal, Punk and Screamo can editions.

  • Delicious and satisfying. The van keeps my drink colder for longer (plus it looks cool!)

  • It’s a nice experience to drink but I feel it’s a little over priced for water. It’s only really good when it’s cold

  • I don’t know if it’s the cool can but I swear this water tastes way better. It’s refreshing and crisp.

  • I tried this a food festival and it was ice cold & tasty - perfect for the warm day!
