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.

  • I tried Liquid Death at a few festivals this summer and while the taste was nice and the packaging is fun it doesn't really justify the price tag.

  • I honestly do not understand the hype over these. It doesn't taste bad but it is somewhat strange drinking water out of a can, like my brain is just expecting something different.

  • As much as I aesthetically love this brand.. it really is just canned water.. I only buy it for my fiance when it's on special but doesn't taste any different. The cans are also so large that the water normally gets warm before I finish it..

  • I a bunch of Liquid Death cans from a friend -- it tastes great and would recommend everyone try it, but I wouldn't buy it myself. I love the story behind Liquid Death's marketing strategy and growth. Genius.

  • Refreshing water on a hot summer day in Vegas…thought it was an adult beverage but it was water…tried at the lovers and friends event.

  • Absolutely amazing, 10/10. I bought this for the first time at a random gas station curious as to how it tastes, and I was shocked at how refreshing it was. I think the fact that it's in an aluminum can protects it from the sun getting to it which locks in the taste much longer. Highly recommend. It's a bit overpriced, but considering how it's manufactured it's understandable.

    Invested in Liquid Death
  • It’s water in a can. It tastes fine. It’s water.

  • The water tastes good. I just hate the can. If it came in an eco friendly jug, I’d likely buy it regularly.

  • Love LD. Always have them at home. Great to take to kids sports events. Great brand and product!

  • I have a soft spot for good branding. I will try most anything if the brand can immediate evoke some sort of emotion or feeling, and that's how Liquid Death lured me in. I stayed because taste. The basic waters are fine, good, but I'm really loving the new flavors. Peach is my current go-to.

  • Love their seltzers!! They have just the right amount of fizz!

  • It's just water, but I think it gives the consumer this feeling that extends past the fact that they're just drinking flavored water. Really a prime showcase of how an incredibly strong brand identity really can allow for new brands in the marketplace to make a major foot hold. Every flavored one I've tried is delicious. I don't buy them often, but I know I'm not gonna be disappointed with the product.

  • I really liked the regular water. It was weird having it out of a can but I love that it’s better for the environment and it honestly was more refreshing!

  • Tried the mineral water at a trade show a few years back. It was great water but the marketing of this brand is really just beyond fun and awesome. The sparkling water is good, but I prefer the still.

    Received a free product from Liquid Death
  • Great product IF you can get it for a good price. I got it from grocery outlet for 25 cents and it was very tasty cold but not room temperature.

    Influencer for Liquid Death
  • Some of the best marketing I have ever seen. Pretty impressive considering it's just water.

  • Liquid death is not worth the hype in my opinion. The seltzer does not have enough carbonation and the regular water tastes weird. Did not enjoy the mango seltzer either.
