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.

  • So glad these have replaced bottled water at concerts. More sustainable and honestly, better tasting than big brands like Dasani

  • So expensive for water in a can. You pay more for the packaging than the water.

  • It’s good water. I bought because I thought the branding was dumb for water. I don’t really like drinking from cans though. I wouldn’t buy again.

  • Love the packaging and the name is interesting but the taste was nothing special. I tried it due to the packaging alone but I prefer glass bottled water.

  • I see this everywhere now. The growth so quickly says a lot about the product in itself. I feel cool when im drinking it. Refreshing & better for the planet.

  • Water is water. It is the ultimate thirst quencher. Perfect for a hot summers day or in-between harder drinks to keep you in tip top form. Where liquid death distinguishes itself form the market is in the marketing. Going completely against convention liquid death brings a different feel to the purchase of water and attracts a different audience. The eco friendly packaging is super and honestly adds to the flavour of the water.

  • This isn't much different from other seltzer brands other than the packaging. The marketing is great and there's power in packaging making it more "normal" in drinking environments but nothing really stands out. I've tried a few flavors and the plain water one yet it isn't one I would gravitate to.

  • I am a sucker for where the water comes from - that coupled with fun branding - makes the drinking of water (both natural and flavored) really fun!

  • Finally, a water to get at a concert or bar that doesn’t stand out. I love the brands mission and branding, and the fact that it “blends” in in a nightlife scene. I also ended up buying cases of this to keep at home because the water truly is high quality, so it’s more than just a cool package. Above all, love that it’s not in plastic!

  • I don’t think there’s anything special about this water, just packaging that makes me feel like less of a dork for drinking water when everyone else is drinking beer or other alcoholic drinks at a party. Like the lime flavored one.

  • I had the sparkling water from this brand and I absolutely love it! I have a thing for sparkling water and this brand just hits different every time i drink it! 10/10 would recommend to those who love canned drinks and sparkling water!

  • One thing that I am most impressed about with this brand is the marketing. I know so many people who CRAVE Liquid Death. Even though it’s just water! It’s impressive, and for that, it gets my stamp of approval. The water is also tasty!

  • As someone that doesn’t drink, Liquid Death is my good solution for having something fun to sip on at a party or concert. This review from here on is mostly about the lemon-lime flavor, which is like Sprite’s hotter older brother. I don’t love plain Liquid Death enough to casually sip on it at home, EXCEPT for the lemon-lime flavor. That stays stocked. It’s right in between a plain flavored seltzer and a sugary lemon-lime soda. It has a really light sweetness that’s reminiscent of a soda in a satisfying way, and the flavors don’t feel as artificial as a seltzer. Not huge on the other flavors, but lemon-lime does it for me. 5 for fun branding and for lots of options, plus for wide availability.

  • Though I would never buy this product, sometimes I'll be at an event or some catered thing and they'll have Liquid Death available. I think it's silly branding and strange to drink water out of a metal can. BUT it tastes fine. It feels sometimes like an instagram stunt. But I'll definitely drink it. However I'm really trying to be better with refillable water bottles than one time use.
