  • 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.

  • The Guy Fieri of water brands. If that sounds like your thing, you'll probably dig the can.

  • Super interesting concept and love the branding and marketing! Love the sustainability effect and love how it is widely available

    Feedback

    A little odd drinking water out of a can but was refreshing nonetheless!

  • Great water, love it so much more than a plastic bottle. This is also a great option for those who are sober but don't want people constantly pushing alcohol on them.

    Feedback

    Great product and a fun company.

  • Was thrown off when I first got this can at a restaurant. It's just water but the designs are cool!

    Feedback

    Nothing!

  • A genius idea, I went to a concert and the only water option was liquid death tall boys. Encourages me to drink water and also somehow takes the pressure away from having an alcoholic drink in my hand

  • Great idea! I particularly like the lime and mango sparkling varieties. As one who doesn't drink beer (and never had one in my entire life!) it's kind of cool to 'fit in' with everyone else at parties and avoid questions and assumptions (must be an alcoholic who's recovering)...

    Feedback

    More flavors

  • I mean...it's water, in a can. It's expensive water in a nice looking can. What more can you say?

    I don't like Liquid Death's involvement in music festivals and the absolute monopoly they run on a basic human need like water. Doesn't sit right with me, and is why I do not support them and will not be purchasing their product in the future.

  • LOVE drinking this at clubs or parties, and people just assume you have a beer. The water itself tastes like it has minerals, which is helpful in hydrating.

  • From someone that drinks water literally all of the time, including bottled water, the water tasted like aluminum. It had a metallic taste, and while I like that it comes in recyclable packaging; it loses me with the water taste.

    Feedback

    If they can figure out a way to have a paper lining that would solve this issue it would most likely help.

  • The name was a little off putting, but overall a tasty, light, refreshing drink

  • My first experience with the Liquid Death, like most, was at a concert. I asked for a water, paid, and was handed this to which I yelled over the music to the bartender, "I wanted a WATER!" They then yell back, "It IS water!" The product is sustainable with its aluminum can and allows everyone to feel included during various occasions due to the look of their product.

    Feedback

    I don't have any feedback for improvement as of now.

  • I've only had this at music festivals, but they're great there! I love that it's in aluminum cans and not harmful plastic. Water still tastes great :) No metallic hint like I was initially expecting haha only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is the price. I thought about buying a pack for my home instead of buy plastic water bottles for visitors, but it's too pricy for me :(

    Feedback

    Find a way to make them cost less :/

  • as someone who has tried pretty much every seltzer under the sun i thought liquid death was pretty average. i love the packaging and how it can normalize sobriety in spaces where that may not always be so easy, but there wasn’t really anything super special about it that stood out to me

    Feedback

    i’d love a little more carbonation, or maybe some unique flavors

  • I mean it’s water. In a can. With a sick ass name. Helps protect the environment. What’s better than that?

  • Put off trying this product for the longest time because of the hype. Tried it once and now it's my go-to sparkling water. The quality of the water is amazing, a good amount of carbonation, love the sustainable packaging, and the branding is on point. It's nice to have a sparkling water company that isn't all bright colors and ~positive vibes only~.

  • Pretty good water. I really like that you can’t necessarily tell it’s water if you’re in a social setting.

    Feedback

    Tastes somewhat like aluminum

  • I love the packaging, mission, and flavors of this water. Having the choice of drinking water from a can instead of plastic is great!

  • Not only can you get hydrated but look cool as heck! Bottled water contains microplastics so it is a comfort to drink Liquid Death knowing there is no health risk.

    Feedback

    Maybe try some flavoured types! Could be really fun with strawberry kiwi.

  • Can't say the water itself stood out to me but I do think when I'm in a pinch it is a much better alternative than a plastic bottle.
