  • Crisp, refreshing water taste

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.

  • The tea options are my favorite! So glad I tried them after being kind of put off by the label.

  • I love this water. I love the lime seltzer water and the plain water the most. It stays colder for longer and the taste from drinking water from a can is crisp.

  • I'm not sure what all the hype is about this brand. It's just seltzer water. My husband loves the mango one, but is it just cool because of the great branding and packaging? I'm not into it.

  • This water is good but the name is weird it taste like water!

  • Honestly, tastes good. Crisp & clean! Love it’s not plastic but the straight edge branding is a little intense. Obviously that’s what they’re going for tho? *shrug*

  • Very drinkable seltzer that isn't too bubbly. Coming out with cool flavors.

  • Just average water nothing special. I personally don't care for the taste.

  • It's... sparkling water. In a fancy can with a hefty price tag. The flavored options are terrible and taste very artificial.

  • I've only had liquid death at concerts, but I have to say it's some of the best tasting water I have because it really doesn't taste like anything! The cans are also way easier to recycle, so I don't feel as bad about buying several!

  • I love Liquid Death! my favorite of their sparkling waters is the berry one!

  • Did NOT love the flavor at all. It’s not for me.

  • The water is tasty in the flavored carbonated versions, and I like their stance on being part of the party while staying hydrated. Plus their packaging design is baller.

  • They handed these out one year at ACL. The water is good and there's a good amount in the can. personally I don't like how much the can looks like a beer can because it's weird to see kids holding ti.

  • I think it's a bit overrated for the price. The branding doesn't appeal to me so that might weigh into it, but I thought, this is just water, why does it have to be so pricey? It may be different if I try the flavored drinks, I guess.

  • Recycle worthy cand]s full of really fresh water. Yes, water has a taste!

  • At first I was annoyed by the branding and the concept of canned water… then I came around to it. I do feel like I have to explain it’s “not alcohol” in public because of the can design. I really like the carbonation— the bubbles seem smaller somehow? I also like the can size, 12oz cans always seem to small. Their flavored/ slightly sweet options are great and I like that they use agave. Their still water is, well, water, but sustainability-wise I suppose a step up from bottled and a step down from screw-top aluminum bottles or reusable.

  • Obsessed! It’s not even my aesthetic but I love the product. I also don’t drink alcohol so I like the large size of the cans!
