  • 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.

  • Don' t get me wrong, but I've always thought this was an alcoholic beverage. It's sparkling water packaged in a fancy tall can. Cool branding, but not impressed with the taste. Sorry..

  • I like that the cans come in aluminum cans. The con is that you can't close the bottle back up.

    Feedback

    Maybe have more travel friendly bottle you can close back up.

  • Saw this brand in stores & gave it a try. Some of the best water I’ve had! I get it whenever I see it!

  • The packaging, branding, and exposure are great. You hear about this stuff everywhere. Most of my podcasts advertise it. It's good, but they be honest. . . It's just water. Give it a try and see if it's for you!

    Don't have much feedback.

  • You could save yourself a couple bucks and buy a regular sparkling water but I can admit that liquid death is worth it every now and then

  • The brand is awesome! But I don’t like the flavor of the carbonation.

  • This is my favorite brand of sparkling water! It has a great MSRP, it's bubbly with no weird aftertaste, and I love the look of the packaging. It's a great option for sobriety at a bar or concert venue.

  • nothing crazy, it's just sparkling water with really good branding

  • I am obsessed with Liquid Death. The packaging is so fun, the brand is engaging and goofy, and the water taste pretty good.

    Feedback

    Nothing! The brand is great.

  • There is something to be said when you open a refrigerator and see a row of Liquid Death lined up. Not only is the packaging funky and a conversational topic in itself, but the water is truly crisp and cool. If I have a friend over who has never tried it before, it is the first thing I hand to them. 9/10 it has gotten raving reviews (except for my baby-boomer mother who didn't know what the big deal was when she tried it *sigh*).

  • Delicious spring water. Fresh clean taste. Sparkling version is my favorite.

    Can’t wait to see this brand continue to grow

  • I really love Liquid Death. I love the taste, the look. I just feel cool drinking this water. It helps me stay hydrated bc I love the look of this can so much.

    Feedback

    none that I can think of.

  • The flavor of the water seemed fresher than other bottled waters would as they have more added minerals and a distinguished taste. In your head you’re probably like who in their good mind think something as flavorless as water has a distinguished taste. Well I do, and even though the products might be more expensive it’s better for the environment and is just fresher overall.

    Feedback

    The price range is a little high for most to afford.

  • This is water that both takes itself too seriously, and not seriously at all. The design of these cans, as laughable as they may be, are perfect for those of us lost in irony, and those of us trying to maintain outward appearances. Remember Monster Energy Tour Water? It was the water that came in Monster Energy cans, given to performers at Monster-sponsored events to give the appearance that they were drinking Monster Energy to keep the stoke up. Liquid Death does something very similar, whether they know it or not. The cans look like beer, something useful for those of us not yet ready to field the questions of why we aren't drinking. As far as taste goes, it's water, it's hard to mess up. Every flavor is fine and nothing's going to blow you away, but it's water so who gives a shit? It tastes as it should.

  • I was exposed to liquid death through its influencer marketing in addition to it being the only available water at the last couple live concerts I attended. The can’s look and feel is very cool and especially in live venue spaces creates a sense of inclusivity for those who might be sober or not drinking alcohol. At the end of the day though, this is just water - I would not buy it if I were not at a venue or if I did not have reliable tap water at home.

    Feedback

    Pricing is a little steep for what this is - once again, water. Some messaging on the real life implications of their sustainable packaging would further support their mission.

  • I mean is it water? Yes. Was it the coolest I've ever felt drinking water? Absolutely. It is actually a good crisp water which is an added bonus.

  • Kill your thirst!! I love this water especially when exerting myself it’s just so crisp and that can gets so cold! Love the branding as well can’t get better than that for shock value!

  • I know that spending $5 on water is ridiculous but I swear this water tastes so good. And, when you're out among friends who are drinking, it helps to make you feel part of the crowd to still be holding something that resembles what friends are also drinking, aka holding a can. I love whenever I go to a bar or a festival and they are selling Liquid Death.

    Feedback

    I have no suggestions other than to decrease the cost but, honestly, I'd still buy it.

  • Liquid Death water is a must at a concert or music festival. The recyclable cans look pretty awesome and the water tastes great! I've tried the sparkling water and have had mixed drinks at festivals with the sparkling water, also highly recommended. Refreshing and hydrating...stay hydrated people! Very cool brand. I've not had many of the flavored options but can speak for the mango, delicious.
