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.

  • Only water I drink that’s not used to make beer

  • I had these at a festival, they were included with my pass so I didn't have to pay for them. They would have been more expensive than I would probably want to pay for water. But they were good! Really crisp taste coming out of a can and they stayed cold!

    Feedback

    These are great if you're going to be outside and drinking the water in a relatively quick amount of time since they obviously don't have lids.

  • bought this to try one day and have consistently kept this in rotation when packing my lunch for work.

    Feedback

    i love the tall boy cans but SO MANY PPL ask me if it’s beer!! idk if there’s any way to make it look less alcohol-y

  • Other than recycling and the name, I would stick with the other water bottling companies.

  • Brought to a party - was a great way to fit in without having to drink alcohol.

    Feedback

    love the branding - wish there was flavoured options as well.

  • This is our go to mocktail refreshing type drink (mango chainsaw please). We add it with a little splash of juice and maybe muddle some herbs and it's super good. My husband likes to drink one after mowing the lawn for just a hint of sweetness and to rehydrate as well. We go through a ton of these.

    Feedback

    I think more flavors would be good. I like the expansion to the teas as well.

  • I was interested in the product solely off the name and can say that I was thoroughly surprised that it was water. I prefer the sparkling water or still.

    Feedback

    I think the price could definitely be better especially because it’s water.

  • The packaging is everything. After picking it up and reading the delightfully sordid backstory, it was an immediate purchase. I'm also a sucker for carbonated water, so it was a win on all fronts for me.

    Feedback

    No notes. I think this product is excellent and delivers on what they're selling at an affordable price point.

  • I tried several flavors all I hated them all, I'm the minority because they had such great reviews I thought I'd enjoy at least one but I did not.

  • I am picky about the taste of my water, and I am obsessed with Liquid Death. It is so cold, refreshing, and tastes amazing out of the can. It’s my favorite drink when I’m sick or have a migraine! Plus, I love that it comes in a can, which is more likely to be recycled than a plastic bottle.

    Feedback

    These cans are fairly expensive compared to some bottled waters, so I only get them as a special treat every once in awhile.

  • Hilarious find at a festival. Fun to feel like you have a drink while actually hydrating. Seemed a touch silly and gimicky to be paying that price for just a can of water. However their brilliant branding will take these guys far.

  • I love that the waters are in recyclable, eco friendly cans. In addition to the fun, edgy flavor names and branding, the info on the cans is entertaining to read. I first tried Liquid Death at a concert when I wanted to take a break from alcoholic beverages. Even though you’re drinking water, they make you feel like the party hasn’t stopped with a can in hand.

    Feedback

    While I love Liquid Death, I keep it to special events and parties and have a different daily water preference due to affordability.

  • Two thumbs up. It really makes me feel like I belong to a community. Their branding in general, is incredible. The lime flavor is my personal favorite one.

  • It's water. In a can. The future is an amazing place.

  • The water is good, but is so expensive, I can't justify the price.

  • I personally love bottled waters, though the fact that this water is in a can really puts it off. It's probably just messing with my brain, but I always expect the taste of be like soda or juice. But that's just me. The taste is better than Dasani.

  • It's water but it's good water. I appreciate the non-plastic packaging and size of the cans. Love the brand voice/tone. I recently tried their new Peach Iced Black Tea and loved it! Suuuuuper smooth taste that isn't too sweet. These are a new fridge staple for me.

    Feedback

    Some cans arrived dented when I've ordered online but that is almost expected. Not a deal breaker for me.

  • This brand is godawful. I've never had such rotten water. It makes you MORE thirsty. It fails to quench your thirsty. I've been in music venues that only sell this and I order soda pop instead. And I hate soda pop. How anyone could accept this product as water is beyond me.

    Feedback

    It's horrible. It makes me more thirsty and definitely tastes like death.
