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.

  • It’s really just normal sparkling water but marketed very well. Would reccomend but not worth it to spend extra money on.

  • These are pretty good. The regular water has to be my favorite - crisp and refreshing. The other flavors are enjoyable, but I never love them enough to finish a full can.

  • Tried Liquid Death when they handed them out after a 5k I ran! Thought I was being handed a white claw at first until I realized it was just mountain spring water! flavor is literally just water, although since it is in a can, tastes so much better than bottled water in my opinion. the packaging is cool! that's where all the hype comes.

  • The water itself is good- comparable to other brands on the market. The price point is terrible. Highly expensive for a case of 12. They make it fun and enticing with the unique names and packaging.

  • I love the brands marketing and they're absolutely killing it- I personally don't love a canned water, but its been great for shows and festivals. Need to try the sparkling version.

  • Liquid Death is a refreshingly different take on bottled water, both in its bold packaging and crisp taste. The mountain water's purity is evident, and the tallboy can adds a unique touch. Plus, the metal can is eco-friendly and cute, hellooo! If you're looking for a cool and sustainable way to hydrate, Liquid Death is your new go to!!!

  • Liquid death is such a great product, from their marketing to the actual product being amazing. I love the uniqueness of water being in a can. It's especially great if you're out at parties and don't want to drink you're still able to have a can in your hand.

  • This water tastes like your standard water. The packaging is fun and it can be a good prop of you are someone that does not like to drink at...lets say a concert. You probably noticed I said concert....well that is because every single concert / music festival that I have been to in the last year has liquid death as their sole water for sale. Which...let be honest....is really annoying. I dont like the fact that I can't put a lid on the water. You constantly have to worry about it spilling and as a ...just one more open container to worry about in general. I would love to see this cool brand come out with a version that is still metal and with the great logo but that has a twist top lid. In terms of quality of water...it does not stand out.

  • It's fine water. My impression is that most people are attracted to the name and the packaging, but I don't think the product (water) itself is anything spectacular. More often than not, if you're somewhere that sells Liquid Death there will likely be some of its better competitors out there like Mountain Valley Spring or Acqua Panna, both of which I'd rather reach for given the choice.

  • Tastes great. Wish they offered smaller cans though!

  • Liquid Death may be awesome but for me…well, I couldn’t get past the taste. It was just too much like drinking quinine water with dirt in it. The cans look super cool but I wasn’t drinking can. Not my thing at all.

  • This water is honestly so extra but I love it. I usually grab one every time I see one.

  • It’s the best spring water and the fact that it’s not in plastic?!? Even better!!!!

  • Love drinking this! As someone who isn’t drinking alcohol at the moment, it makes it feel cooler drinking your water. The ice tea lemonade is SO good. It’s not overly sweet like Arnold Palmers I’ve had before.

  • Water was ok, nothing special for the price point though. Although the can does make it a little easier to transport, you get some funny looks from those who confuse it with alcohol. I thought the flavored sparkling waters were too sweet, would like to have an option for unsweetened.

  • I don’t get it…. My teenager made me buy this, and for me, it’s really just water. Don’t quite see what’s special about it, the taste is just… water?

  • The flavors are excellent, with a much more satisfying and distinct taste compared to other seltzer brands. I thought canned water might have a metallic taste but even the still water variety was crisp and refreshing. While the cans might be a little big for me for a casual beverage around the house, I have found them to be the perfect NA drink to bring along to a party. Plus the aluminum cans are way easier to recycle. Would love to find 12oz options.
