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 water and sparkling water are crisp/clean, which I love, and I like that there’s no strong aftertaste that some other sparkling waters have. But I don’t find myself reaching for the flavored ones.

  • I'm not the biggest fan of having to buy water that isn't from the fridge in my house, but if I had to choose one, it would be Liquid Death. It tastes fresh and not like other bottled waters that taste salty or chlorinated. Will buy it again!!

  • I bought a box to try and it’s already almost gone. It’s been great because I’ve been on the go this last week a lot! My fiancé was really confused on the packaging and couldn’t believe it was just water haha! He does not like seltzer so these are great. My friend saw me drinking it and thought Liquid Death was like a cross between Monster & Redbull. I was like ugh no it’s just water! Haha. I’m going to buy more. It also tastes good. Like the can keeps it alittle cooler even if it’s been just sitting in my car and there’s obviously no plastic taste. No metal taste either.

  • Love the sustainability of water in a can instead of plastic. Their sparkling waters are my favorite but I've found some of the flavors are too sweet for my palette.

  • I find the cans entertaining to read and one of the reasons why I buy this brand. The still water and sparkling waters both taste good and they also have flavored waters that I haven’t tried yet. You can recycle the cans so no waste.

  • I’ve had these at music festivals that are eco friendly. I love the concept.

  • love the idea behind this brand and their marketing campaigns, but the water tastes kinda like metal/tastes like its in a tin can if that makes sense

  • I give this brand 4/5 rating because I do not like the taste of the still water. On the other hand, the sparkling water is phenomenal and I drink this at least twice a week. They have recently come out with a line of iced teas with no sugar, just small amounts of agave, and they are quite tasty!!

  • Overpriced water but it is delicious and often the only thing served at venues nearby

  • The best way to have water at events, especially when you don't want to consume alcohol and want to reduce plastic. Badass packaging and cool brand.

  • As a self described “water snob” this is the only thing I keep stocked in my fridge. Added bonus: they’re great conversation starters when drinking in public

  • The non-flavored sparkling water is my go-to, the bubbles are just....different. I favor other flavored sparkling waters over Liquid Death's.

  • The mango drink is really yummy!! The water is, well, just water. It’s good :)

  • I love the brand mission to demonize plastic bottles and make the aluminum can the hero! Amazing simple concept, would love to see a cafinated version of the liquid death can !

  • Love these sparkling and still waters! They have great packaging and a cool mission to reduce plastic. The only thing is I am not a big fan of their flavored waters- stick to the plain.

  • The water is fine and it's strange claim to be the most hydrating beverage is funny to me. I like that it is not in plastic, but I would not go out of my way to purchase when it is easier to carry my own water in a reusable vessel. I'm not sure that I understand the branding of this product. I think that the marketing is supposed to be ironic and that is the whole point, but it just doesn't work for me. It looks like an alcoholic beverage or energy drink can, and the name is also reminiscent of those things. If it is a ploy to get people to drink more water and it's actually working, I would be interested to know.

  • Really fun brand that looks like beer but is actually water! I really did do a taste test between this and regular bottled water and can say I prefer it. It has a very clean mouth feel and does truly give you that spring water taste.

  • I went to a music festival in Chicago where the only water they had was Liquid Death. The packaging is cool. There’s a water phenomenon and everyone has an opinion on a brand. The mango chainsaw flavor is a bit different but overall pretty good.

  • So hard for me not to love these guys and everything about what they're doing.
