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.

  • I saw someone drinking one of these at a race, and had to try it. Could it really be that much better than other seltzer? I drink a lot of seltzer and I do feel like it’s a little more delicious than private label plain seltzer. But it is way more expensive than it is more delicious. Their branding is great though! I heard it is to help people feel more comfortable not drinking alcohol at social events and I love that!!

  • I always get these waters at festivals. Super refreshing and kind of fun to drink out of a can. They hit different.

  • I didn’t want to love a canned water, but it is very good. Refreshing and “clean” are the best words I have to describe it. I’ve yet to try the sparkling or flavored options, but definitely would. For what they are, I consider these more of a splurge for me. But they taste great and I typically grab one if I know I’ll be thirsty throughout a show or movie.

  • Carbonated water in ridiculous cans. It is an absurd premise. It's just water.

  • My main experience with Liquid Death was in concert settings, as this was the only type of water the venue I go to was serving. It was such a lifesaver, super hydrating (since it is water), and also one of the tastiest sparkling waters I've had. It's also really nice to have if you're a designated driver, since the packaging almost looks like alcohol.

  • Honestly a good drink when you’re dehydrated . Even better when it’s been in the fridge for a few hours!

  • Love the mission of this company, and honestly water is better in a can - stays colder, tastes more fresh. If I don't have a reusable bottle handy, this is a brand I'll always hunt down.

  • Love their sparkling water and iced teas. The sparkling water has just the right amount of carbonation and every purchase has not disappointed. The iced teas are the perfect amount of subtle sweetness and great tasting.

  • I have had had their canned still water on a few occasions; I usually don’t buy water as I believe packaged water is a scam, but if I had no choice but to purchase it, I’d take this any day over bottled water. It does taste distinctly cleaner and crisper than anything from plastic, in which I applaud their mission to reduce plastic waste.

  • All products are great. Love their sparkling water most.

  • I dont really understand the hype. I dont think this sparkling water tastes particularly good. it just has a fun can logo.

  • We've purchased this water from Sprouts and really like it. Some of the flavors are better than others, but it's definitely better than other sparkling waters.

  • It's great! The packaging is creative, and I love how they're sold in major grocery stores. My personal favorite is the sparkling line.

  • I have seen liquid death popping up at concerts and venues all over the place for the last few years. Their cans have a cool "tall boy" beer can look to them which makes the water come off much cooler looking like a beer or energy drink would. The brand itself has a really cool image which gives off an edgy feel which I honestly like a lot and their marketing and product naming is great. However, I finally got around to trying their sparkling water and I was not very impressed. I am a frequent drinker of all different sparkling water brands like AHA, Bubly, etc. and I just could not see myself drinking tliquid death's sparkling water everyday like I do with other brands. I have not tried their flavored drinks yet, so I don't want to say that I did not like all of their available beverages. I would definitely be open to trying them, but that initial experience did not inspire me to continue purchasing their drinks especially since they are also a bit more pricey than other sparkling waters available.

  • Even if the marketing wasn't as good as it is - I would still buy this water. It is so refreshing and definitely tastes better than bottled water.

  • The packaging is modern + eye catching to a hunger generation with a big of nostalgia for the older demo. I only drink spring water + this came highly recommended. I always reach for this on a night out, makes not being a drinker fun.
