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.

  • Im into the hype! Can they sponsor my life, PLZ? Maybe it's because the water is coming from a can, it tastes crispier and better than when it comes from plastic bottles? Props to their marketing team!

  • This is probably one of my favorite sparkling water assortments that I have ever tried. All of the flavored sparkling waters are great, wish they had packages of larger quantities though! As for the other products they have, the mountain water is fine, it is just water but I love this brand so I lean toward buying this water rather than other brands. Their teas leave much to be desired. I tried the rest in peach flavor and I couldn't finish it, it tasted quite bitter. I am not sure if it was a dud, but I probably wouldn't recommend the teas to others.

  • Love the concept of this water brand. Makes you feel included in drinking culture if you’re not looking to drink.

  • The water tastes fine but I am giving it one star because it's so expensive just for a can of water. The brand irritates me. They claim to be sustainable for having recyclable cans, but ALL cans are recyclable aluminum. NOt sure if it's fair but that is what I think of the product.

  • Really don't like this brand except for their branding. Their water tastes like metal

  • I LOVE this water! It's fresh and clean and quenches my thirst, it must be the magic of the mountains. I also really like that it comes in a can and not a plastic bottle. The name is definitely misleading, I assumed for the longest time it was an energy drink so I never tried it, but once I checked it out and realized it was water...well, the rest is history!

  • OK so I thought this was kind of silly. Canned water. But recently went to a show in the city with my family. My kids are teens and of course they wanted water and figured it'd be plastic bottle... There was a bar there with every kind of alcohol and Liquid Death was the only non-alch choice. Honestly my teens were charmed by copy (the brand was new to them, not me) and the container and they didn't feel like outsiders having the water. I mean, less plastic good too but having a "cool" water can in venues is nice. Thanks for it.

  • I waited so long to try this because I assumed it’d be way more expensive, and maybe for water around the house it is but if you’re stopping at like a gas station or in the checkout at target honestly the price is comparable to other brands and worth it if you know you’ll be able to recycle the can later I think. Aside from that, just tastes like standard spring water, good but not anything crazy. I think the eco friendly packaging is the main draw.

  • It is just water in an aluminum can… If you know you’re going to recycle the aluminum packaging, then sure go for it, but this is not some thing I will grab on the go because it doesn’t do the environment any good as a single use item. It’s good water though.

  • Innovative way to package water and make it more appealing to the consumer! I love all their ads and marketing, they make it fun to drink water!

  • Ok honestly love the packaging and the whole vibe and aesthetic around the product! I know it's just water but you feel good drinking it and I love that it's in recyclable aluminum cans without giving you a weird taste!! Plus it tastes amazing :)

  • Whenever you're out and don't want to feel "awkward" for the one night drinking as much as your other friends - grab a Liquid Death and you're set. I know i know, its a weird thing to say however....its like holding a can of beer but its waterrrrr ;) Shout out to the health freaks and designated drivers!

  • This water somehow tastes different??? It’s really smooth. I bought it because of the cool packaging and loved walking around with the can. Usually, I’m discouraged from buying single-use water bottles but I’m happy that I cooled myself with Liquid Death today.

  • I tried this because I have several friends that love it, but it was just meh for me. I just didn’t feel like it was any better than my regular filtered water that is free.

  • Love this water. It really does taste better. Plus, it looks awesome.

  • It’s tasty, but I feel like the name is super misleading! I was expecting there to be caffeine given the name.

  • I really like the Liquid Death flavored sparkling waters. I tried them at a concert, and it was nice to be holding something that feels like a tallboy but isn't alcoholic.

  • I am obsessed with this brand's products. I don't love all the flavored waters, but the original sparkling water and the flat water are great. I do kind of wish the cans came in different sizes.

  • So delicious! Especially love the new teas they've released. Great alternative for sober folks.
