Liquid Death earns enthusiastic reviews for crisp, refreshing still and sparkling water, standout “tallboy” cans, and sustainability-minded aluminum packaging, yet opinions split on whether it’s more branding than substance. Reviews highlight delicious flavors like Mango Chainsaw and Severed Lime and the social ease for non-drinkers, while weaknesses include occasional metallic taste, mild carbonation for some, sweetened flavored lines (agave/stevia), and complaints about a recent source change that altered taste.

  • The water has a unique taste - super refreshing, and only drink when cold! I found that once it was lukewarm, it had a metally aftertaste? The sparkling water is pretty good.

  • Great can of water + I love Liquid Death's mission & marketing along with their transparency around plastic & pollution.

    Feedback

    Could they offer more variety, ie different flavored sparkling waters?

  • Fun variety of flavors. I enjoy the can/recyclability and how tall the cans are

  • I must admit that the name and branding of this water made me skeptical, but it is my all time favorite water, and I love the tall boy can size.

  • water tastes great! environmentally friendly with cans - probably wouldn't buy on my own, but many offices provide them as an amenity

  • Did not like how sweet it was or the artificial aftertaste. To be fair, I did not understand it was not a regular sparkling water, so that was my bad.

  • While Liquid Death boasts excellent marketing that certainly grabs attention, I can’t get past the corny cult following it has developed. The edgy branding and over-the-top persona feel a bit forced and overshadow the actual product. The water itself is refreshing and the eco-friendly aluminum cans are a plus, but the exaggerated hype around the brand isn’t my style. If you can look past the theatrics, it’s decent water, but the overall experience left me wanting something more straightforward.

  • Ok, I get it!!! Not only do I feel COOL AF drinking from these cans, they genuinely are so refreshing and crisp. I just bought a 12 pack yesterday and I can't wait to crack open a cold one after work today.

  • I might be the only person to say this, but I'm not a fan! I don't like the taste of the water out of the can. Sorry!! They are an innovative brand doing great things with their marketing.

  • It’s water with cool branding at the end of the day. One thing I do really enjoy as someone who does not drink alcohol anymore is that I am able to get tall boys of water when at music venues and not feel like I need a beer in my hand.

  • Tried it, and can't really taste the difference? It just tastes like regular water?

  • I'll be honest: I don't really know if this is the point, but I think the contrast between the intense branding and the delicacy of the bubbles is fun. I'm a fan!

  • Honestly, it's kinda just water. Nothing that special about it but the branding is great and holding one of these at a party makes you feel cool

  • genius idea for a brand, love the packaging! as someone sober, drinks disguised as alcohol are my favorite to keep people from asking why I'm not drinking (gets so annoying)

  • This brand took a minute for me to embrace. I love that I can find it widely at music venues as a non alcoholic option that blends in. The addition of flavors to the line is a game changer.

  • It's water, so I don't have much to say about what's inside, but I picked it up because I wanted a can rather than a plastic bottle. I know the branding has attracted a massive investment and I can see why, it's hilariously bold, but I felt like people on the bus probably thought I was drinking a beer at 2pm. Not sure how I feel about that.

  • Had this stuff at a concert not too long ago. Was nice to be able to hold and sip on something if I didn’t want to drink.

  • The Armless Palmer is delicious, tastes just like a traditional Arnie Palmer.

  • I'm not picky about water, but love Liquid Death specifically because of the brand. They have a sense of humor worth following.
