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. Nothing special about it honestly. It tastes the same as other waters you can find on the market. I think the branding is fun, but thats honestly what you’re paying for. The name 🤷🏽‍♀️

  • It took me a moment to finally give this a try, but I did and I wish I did sooner! If you want fresh tasting water this is the one for you!

  • I love the design and idea behind this brand. Water tastes pretty good

  • It's water in a can!! These stay much colder than plastic alternatives and dont have a funky metalic taste! I wish these were more widely accessible so more people would pick these over bottles but I am always one to go out of my way to pick a non plastic alternative.

  • I got one of these after a half marathon and honestly didn't expect to like it as much as I did. Yes it's just water, but it was refreshing and somehow tasted colder(?) because it was in a can.

  • Water in a van is next level. Love the satirical branding and sustainability of infinitely recyclable materials 😎

  • I’ve been a fan for years and put lots of friends on. I prefer the still water and very cold. Other friends prefer the sparkling .

  • Love the story behind this brand as well as the fact it’s one of the few brands that has fully recyclable packaging. Also looks really cool compared to a ‘normal’ bottle of water

  • I was skeptical about canned water at first but amazed at how fresh this water truly tastes. I also love that it’s better for the environment than plastic water bottles.

  • I wanted to not like these because the branding is so corny but they're unfortunately really good, especially the Severed Lime one -- tastes like an NA caipirinha!

  • I enjoyed their sparkling water, but I wish the flavor tasted a little more natural.

  • I like sparkling water, but I honestly didn’t think liquid death was worth the hype. It seems like it has a stronger bite than your normal sparkling water.

  • I am not a fan of sparkling water but liquid death changed that! It is super smooth and I love that the flavors are subtle but you can still taste them. Very refreshing and a drink my husband and I always have on hand

  • When I first saw Liquid Death, I had no idea what it was. I actually assumed that it had alcohol in it because of the packaging. And then when I looked into it I was pleasantly surprised! It’s such a smart design for sparkling water! I’ve taken breaks from drinking alcohol in the past because of dietary concerns, and I always felt awkward drinking regular water when I went out with my friends who were drinking. But more than that, it was just boring drinking plain water all night. So finding a sparkling water that tastes great, with minimal sugar added to it, and it looks badass? That’s a win in my book. I’m also a huge fan of their sustainable practices and mission. My goal when buying products, is to find something that I not only love, but is also good to this beautiful planet of ours. Liquid Death did that.

  • I love Liquid Death, and thought it was the perfect drink to order during pregnancy. The water is super crisp and I like the flavors the have come out with as well.

  • One of the best marketing campaigns I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve had many friends recently go sober or become sober curious and they recommended the sparking waters. I had no idea they had expanded to so many different flavors. I appreciate that it also aims to solve the plastic water bottle crisis.

  • I tried this water because of the Water Sommelier on TikTok. The price is high, but the branding is fun and the taste is actually pretty good. Tasted very smooth, the bubbles weren’t too sharp. I wish it was more affordable, but it’s nice as a treat. I never thought I’d say that about water!
