Reviews mention

  • Crisp, refreshing water
  • Recyclable aluminum packaging
  • Bold, distinctive branding
  • Satisfying sparkling carbonation
  • Non‑resealable tall cans
  • Occasional metallic aftertaste
  • Inconsistent flavored sweetness
  • Carbonation sometimes too gentle

Liquid Death earns strong reviews for crisp, refreshing still and sparkling water and edgy cans that make sober socializing feel seamless, though many note it’s “just water” with basic or inconsistent flavors and occasional metallic notes. Reviews say the brand is good for sustainability-minded buyers thanks to recyclable aluminum and standout branding, but weaknesses include sweetness in some flavored and tea lines, less punchy carbonation for some, and a non‑resealable can that’s inconvenient.

  • It's water. Haha. Definitely cool from an aesthetic perspective, and nice that it's not a plastic bottle. But the taste isn't anything special.

  • It’s OK. The severed lime has a bit more flavor than some other brands on the market, but it’s canned water and it’s not easy to carry around.

  • Overrated but will give 10/10 for branding. I've tried all of their flavors but don't see myself going out of my way to get it.

  • I'm really impressed with the branding and the fantastic work of the marketing department! There's just one aspect that leaves me a little uncertain - the natural flavors. It's often unclear what exactly those natural flavors consist of. However, apart from that, I really appreciate their commitment to using recyclable cans and their overall mission.

  • great marketing but it spring water, love how different it is from other water companies cause this doesn’t look like a water bottle brand for sure!

  • I've been a fan of the brand since launch - around 2017/2018 I remember I sought out a store that sold this. Water is good, and the marketing is even better - that is what brings us all in right? If this is in the store I buy it. I have learned too much about micro-plastics recently so love that Liquid Death is in a can.

  • Okay, yes. It is water in a can. But it’s *different*. Somehow, it makes me drink more water? Not a huge fan of the plain sparkling but the flavored ones hit. Only had a few of the new tea flavors, and they’re okay. But the OG water? Sign me all the way up.

  • super fresh and crsip taste, fund packaging and large bubbles.

    this is as far away from perrier as you can get in the sparking world. larger bubbles give you a better pop in my opinion.

  • This stuff is actually crazy, I tried it for the first time at a music festival when i was feeling like actual trash and it tasted like literally the best water I have ever tasted. I some how do think this is worth the hype? Its weirdly so good, I get it now.

    Seriously good water and fun marketing!

  • Honestly, even if you look past the creative marketing, the vision, how different these guys are from all of the gazillions of seltzer or beverage brands out there... the drinks just taste good. My personal favorite is the sparkling, severed lime can be hit or miss depending on how you like your seltzers to taste.

  • Obviously I’m a fan of the packaging. I’m not a huge drinker (with the exception of a margarita every now and then). What I love most is people not questioning just drinking liquid death because in dark crowded places (I go to a lot of concerts) because they don’t realize it’s just water. Especially the flavored waters, they’re better than other sparkling flavored waters on the market. Highly recommend.

  • Love their initiative! I don't drink too often, so while most everyone knows at this point what Liquid Death is, I don't feel disinclined to grab a water because of how well it blends into the rest of the crowd of drinks. A+ design.

  • Bought it for the first time after knowing about it for a long time because I wanted to support the brand and I really liked it. Made me feel less weird about drinking water at a party where everyone else was having white claws etc.

  • I love the mango flavor but really, it's just sparkling water. However, their branding is so revolutionary that I'm giving five stars. Fun to bring to parties :)

  • Very entertaining marketing! I love how big the cans are. The fizz of the sparkling waters is also very pleasant and soft compared to sodas. You also don't get the bitter aftertaste that you would normally get from a sparkling water. Highly recommend!

    I just also really love the brand's mission and commitment to killing plastic waste!

  • its water but its really cool water. best marketing team in the game it seems

  • I love the concept of water that might not look like water and will help you blend in at parties- not that I go to parties but the concept is neat. The water itself does not taste amazing, but with my high standards, I would definitely say it is drinkable. I also love that because the cans are made out of aluminum, they are much more recyclable than plastic, so I also appreciate the mission of the company. There's not too much else to say, it's water with a cool look and goal, and I appreciate it!

    Feedback

    Maybe try and get the price lower so it can become closer in price to plastic water bottles.

  • The water has a unique taste - super refreshing, and only drink when cold! I found that once it was lukewarm, it had a metally aftertaste? The sparkling water is pretty good.
