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.

  • Liquid Death is lovely. Their branding is super cool and absolutely on point. Their sparkling variations on water are also fantastic, especially the mango one. Would highly recommend. You look cool drinking it.

    Feedback

    Liquid Death is great, but the taste of water in an aluminum can is an interesting choice. I prefer water to not taste metallic, but if it reduces plastic waste then I'm all for it.

  • High Quality water in the best package available. Why this isn't the standard at this point is dumbfounding.

  • Like others have mentioned, the branding is humorous and fun. I like that you can seemingly be consuming an alcoholic beverage, but in reality you’re just drinking water. I also appreciated being able to enjoy water plastic-free. I tried the plain version and the lime version, and I definitely preferred the lime, but overall a great experience!

    Feedback

    In my opinion, the flavorless version is pretty flat compared to other sparkling waters. If you’re a sparkling water connoisseur, I would choose another brand for plain sparkling water.

  • I am so over plastic water bottles, and love everything about Liquid Death - the water tastes delicious, and it's more sustainable to boot. Still and Sparkling are my go-tos.

    Feedback

    The only downfall of aluminum is that it's not resealable, and Sparkling especially is best enjoyed fresh, so sometimes, I have to drink the whole can when I'd rather enjoy it in increments.

  • They had me from their branding, but I am now a Country Club member and the brand technically owns my soul? But truly this water is my preferred sparkling water. It is crisp, the bubbles are not harsh like other sparkling waters, and the cans are great for just throwing into a cooler or a backpack.

  • Such fun advertising! I really enjoyed the Mango Chainsaw, and I usually am not too fond of sparkling waters. The Mountain Water tasted like... yummy water! I'm glad to see less plastic in the water business!

  • I love Liquid Death, the packaging, the flavors, and how hydrated I feel after the fact.

  • Honestly pretty good water, cool packaging but it can sometimes taste metalic-y because of the packaging. Otherwise it’s literally just overpriced water.

    Nothing really, but maybe make your bottles reusable. I know with the lid flip top that is give that feel of drinking a soda or other beverage but if you made a metal or glass bottle with a reusable cab (think path water) but with your packaging I would happily buy this water.

  • the bottle is so funny to me. it looks so cool. the water is delicious! it’s super refreshing. i only get it from tech events and work events. i wish i could afford to have it stocked at my home all the time.

    Feedback

    a bit pricey.

  • Just water...but done in a fun and unique way. LOVE the packaging.

    Feedback

    Non-spring water variant would be much much appreciated.

  • It is so fun to get a can of water that looks like a can of beer to me. I didn't love the taste of the still water (honestly it tasted like pure nothing, which I do like to have some minerals in my water). I was, however a big fan of the flavored sparkling waters, especially the lemon lime flavor.

  • This helped my husband and I completely get off of soda. Best sparkling water out there. I also love that they are trying to cut down on plastic by using cans which recycle better.

  • This is just water in a can and I think that it's kind of ridiculous. I've gotten them for free at music festivals, which is a great way to keep people hydrated, but I personally would not pay money for this product. They are meant to look like beer cans I think, so it can be kind of confusing to the consumer.

    Make water free!

  • It’s really good. I’m not a huge sparkling water fan in general. Like la croix doesn’t taste good to me at all and I can’t even finish a can. But liquid death is on a whole other level. Huge fan

  • Packaging is so cool! Love that it can kind of look like a can of alcohol so if you’re the DD or sober you’re not getting bombarded with “why aren’t you drinking!?” It also has fun commentary on it. I appreciate that it’s not plastic & the company seems to care about lessening plastic use. The water is crisp & delish! It took a minute to get used to because you expect soda or something bubbly, but it’s my go-to. Love their sparking flavored options too!

  • My young adult children ordered this. We all loved it. We are regular seltzer drinkers and really enjoyed this.

  • Great option for water to be in a can, really loved it when I found it at a local music venue and didn't want to drink. Having a cool can makes it feel less like you're being boring with water. Seeing it merchandised on the back bar looked awesome. Was pretty excited to try the flavored sparkling and was bummed to see it sweetened. It's only 3g/can, which is much better than soda but was surprised at first sip.

    Feedback

    Don't love agave and don't drink sweetened beverages so will stick to the plain. Calling it flavored sparkling water and having it be sweetened felt a little misleading, as it didn't mention it anywhere.

  • Overall, liquid death is great! Love the idea of having the water in cans making it easier to recycle and reuse. They also have great brand awarness always sponsoring fun events! the water is super crisp and light definetly worth the price!
