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 just water - but it's good water! Kind of a basic taste to it (pH wise) but I enjoy it.

  • This was very surprising to me. I wouldn’t think water from a can would be refreshing much less taste good and this is some great tasting water.

  • Great taste and simple ingredients despite daunting branding. Availability is getting better but not in all varieties. Highly recommended, don't pass up your favorite flavor, you may not see it again for a while.

  • i love this brand. 1.) it's great for subtly staying sober in social settings 2.) the flavors taste great and the packaging is really fun i recently tried the mango chainsaw one and it was super refreshing and delicious

  • Pricey but flavors are great. I would reach for this as a party drink when pregnant.

  • Genius branding and amazing product! they arent reinventing water but it is a really special product and the water tastes really good

  • I love this brand, as someone who does not drink it is so helpful to have something to help lubricate social situations and still be able to drink whatever I want. Great water, great packaging.

  • It's like an alternative to lemonade, but tastes better.

  • Not only are the cans great for camping, but I don’t think it’s just in my head that the water actually tastes better than most. something about it just seems more refreshing. Maybe it’s really good marketing that got me or maybe it’s legit, but I continue to buy it.

  • I love sparkling water and this brand is so fun. The seltzer is delicious and I love the concept, as someone who rarely drinks soda but still likes having a fun drink this is such a great option.

  • The marketing for Liquid Death is the best there is but when it comes to the quality of water, there's nothing much else to it. I would say if you prefer the taste of water in aluminum can vs. plastic, buy this but if you don't like that slightly metallic taste stay away.

  • I like Liquid Death, but don't understand why it is so expensive. It is just water.

  • I have tired almost all the liquid death sparkling water flavors and all of their tea blends. I Iove the edgy packaging and extra large cans. However I find the flavors off putting. I am an avid sparkling water fan and drink it almost exclusively- but liquid death has significantly less sparkle and that artificial sweet from added stevia. The Armpess Palmer tea/lemonade blend is my go to if I can’t find another brand of sparkling water. Unfortunately most gas stations seem to only carry liquid death these days.

  • I like the recyclable packaging and the price point! The water's taste isn't totally to my preference, but I like that it is spring water, not purified tap water. Overall, I buy it when it's on sale (which is often).

  • Liquid Death tastes like water…plain and simple. When I first saw the can at a staff meeting, I thought it was a high powered energy drink. When I read about the product and saw it was “mountain water” to “m*rder your thirst” it felt like more of a gimmick than anything. They sell merch and the artwork is awesome, I just don’t think the water is that special.
