  • Crisp, refreshing water taste
  • Edgy, conversation-starting packaging

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.

  • As someone who doesn’t drink I can’t state enough how great I think this product’s mission is. So fun to have a product to hold that isn’t alcohol in social settings. That gets four stars. What kicks it into 5 is that fact that the water— both still and sparkling— tastes great. Love that they are branching out into other flavors.

    Obviously the price point is pretty high for water but it really is a great product.

  • It's just water in a can... but they do brand it well, and that actually serves a purpose.

  • I mean it's water but - the marketing makes water so cool! Love that we are using cans not plastic!

  • This was an interesting experience! I don't know what no other brand had tried to pack water in aluminum cans! It makes for a better and more refreshing drinking experience and it's better for the environment! It took me back to my childhood when I used to drink water in aluminum cups at my great grandmother's house! My dad always kept one of these cups handy because water just tastes so much better when you drink it from an aluminum cup! It's just cooler and more refreshing! So I was thrilled when I saw there was a brand that could give me that same experience!

    Everything is absolutely perfect about this concept! I just wish the art on the cans wasn't so macabre!

  • One of the best brand experiences I’ve had to date. So much so that I’ve gone out of my way to try new flavors, seek out locations that offer it, and even go out of my way to share the really cool story of how the brand started and caught fire. I drink a ton of water, and prefer it to alcohol. I am not alcohol free, but having the option of a 16oz can that looks like a fun beer is a huge bonus.

    Keep up the good work. I hope there might be a less sweet tea option, because they’re pretty sweet. Please continue to sell into bars and restaurants and venues.

  • I have tried both the regular water and sparkling water. Both are of high quality. The downside is it's water. They have a good therapy in canned (easier to recycle, instead of plastic) water. The price is fair. The art design is neat too.

    The price is high for water, but it is high quality and refreshing.

  • I don't drink alcohol, so I always bring liquid death to parties and it makes me feel a little cooler. Taste is great (love the lime), and it's the perfect amount of sweet.

  • I love the fact that this water is in a recyclable aluminum can. The fact that this product is helping us be more eco-friendly is such a bonus. I love not drinking from plastic!

  • Truly one of my favorite brands. They have an amazing ad team that produces some incredible work, it's all lighthearted and fun. One of the other brands I see not thinking too much about what they are doing, they just do it.

    I love that this is a drink that I can drink while I'm out and still feel included. Even though I do drink alcohol, sometimes it feels weird to not be holding something and I don't want that something to be a water bottle. And they are eco friendly!

  • Love their water! I get the normal still and I love the taste. I tried their sparkling berry, and it wasn't terrible. ( I just don't love sparkling water). Great water, fun packaging. Great price point.

  • It's fine, but ridiculously overpriced.

    Feedback

    I've only had the water, and it's no better than say smart water or Fiji. I don't like the can vs a bottle which can be resealed.

  • It's just water with fancy packaging. I'm not sure what the point is. This is for meathead men. Who's buying this stuff?

  • Liquid death made me upset that I just purchased a soda stream. I can’t really describe why I love it so much other than that it’s a great size (more than a small seltzer), and the concentration of bubbles is crisp but not too much. Similar to topo chico but a little less carbonation.

    Feedback

    Honestly love it. No complaints.

  • Tastes really yummy! I think the packaging is funny and cool, looks like you're drinking beer. I buy mine from Whole Foods!

    Feedback

    Love the product

  • Love liquid death. Great tasting water and sparkling water. I also love the name and packaging and love that they have partnered with music venues. Their new flavored sparkling drinks are so good.

  • Liquid Death water was sold at a concert that I went to. I liked the look and feel of the can, it seemed to keep the water cold and it had a refreshing taste. I much prefer a can over a plastic bottle.

  • I was not a fan. I felt the flavors had a strong fake sugar taste and overly sweet for water. The plain water was nothing special for the price.

    Feedback

    Reduce the sugar in the flavored drinks

  • The marketing for this brand was the selling point for me. And while I do think it is overpriced, I’d much rather purchase water in a can over a plastic bottle when I don’t have access to a reusable one.

    Capitalizing on water will always feel like a dirty business to me.
