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.

  • My husband and I recently went sober, so these are our saving grace at concerts and in social situations! I wish they offered more flavors - so I'm hoping those will come with time. Fun branding, too!

  • Not gonna lie, I'm a sucker for good packaging and the fact that aluminum cans are more eco-friendly than plastic are a double win. I try to mostly stick to reusable water bottles but for times when that's not an option, this is great. The still water itself is is pretty good taste-wise. Also a fan of their sparkling.

  • While I'm not typically a fan of paying for flat water in a disposable container (re-useable water bottles, people!) aluminum is far better than plastic, and their sparkling water is delicious. As a marketer, I can also say that their branding and marketing strategy is genius, and for that alone I applaud them!

  • It tastes good but I think the packaging it a bit confusing as I often find it in the drink section near to alcoholic seltzers. For the longest time I didn't realize it was sparkling water and not an alc. beverage and so frequently passed by it.

  • Liquid Death has come in clutch when I'm out at a local concert and don't want to drink alcohol but don't want to be empty-handed. My local venue serves them at the bar and I am so thankful! I also love that it's a canned water option, plastic water bottles suck. So this is an overall 10/10 for water on the go.

  • It's water. Water. The branding is great and their marketing has been extremely successful but at the end of the day it's just water.

  • First experienced at Gov Ball in NYC. The water is delicious and crisp in a way you don’t get from plastic bottles. Would purchase again.

  • It's water in a can. Hydrates well and good for folks going no-alcohol who don't want to explain themselves

  • Not the best water but BOY DID THEY SLAY WITH THE BRANDING. During a time when no one thought the water aisle could get be explored anymore, Liquid Death came and stood out like a sore thumb that we all wanted to try. This brand is a mastermind at reading the room and knows exactly how to give it to it while blowing everyone's mind.

  • I typically prefer bringing my own reusable bottle of water with me but have tried Liquid Death at concert venues. The brand concept is fun and unique. I appreciate the aluminnum can use over plastic. The price of a can was absurd at the concert.

  • This product is very unique. Even tho it pretty expensive given that its only water, the taste certainly stands out. Such a clean and natural feeling when you sip on it. I love this brand because of its creativity and promise

  • I think this product kills it in their mission statement, " Our evil mission is to make people laugh and get more of them to drink more healthy beverages more often, all while helping to kill plastic pollution." Liquid Death does just that if you can handle their version of humor. I find it to be entertaining and admire the mission. Also it scores cool points with my teenaged nephew. I'm a fan.

  • I picked up a pack of these on a whim and immediately became obsessed. I'm a passive seltzer drinker and not a fan of La Croix, but the sparkling mango flavor of these won me over tenfold. They taste so smooth for a sparkling water, ACTUALLY have flavor, and are just fun to hold. My only gripe is they can be a bit expensive, but I love knowing I at least have some in my fridge at any time.

  • Delicious. Love their cans of water, makes me drink more water and faster probably too. Doesn’t give off a metal taste and like that they’re a larger size can.

  • Just had my first can last week, not bad—refreshing, light taste, not too sweet.

  • I love the taste of this water. I love that it’s in a can, just tastes different

  • I’m a big fan of Liquid Death drinks, especially the Armless Palmer. I like that the flavored drinks are lightly sweetened with agave and aren’t filled with a ton of sugar. Plus their branding is pretty cool.
