17 - Liquid Death Root Beer Wrath
Liquid Death is a fairly new drink company that eschews plastic in favor of aluminum. They make mostly flavored soda waters and teas. However, you can also purchase various pieces of merchandise from their website too.
Branding
As is typical of the Liquid Death brand, they have a rotting skull on their Rootbeer Wrath drink. The colors are nice and the branding is pretty on-point. If you are looking for Liquid Death, then you’ll probably notice it as there are few other drinks that go for this look.
Taste and Ingredients
Most root beers are dark brown. However, Liquid Death’s Rootbeer Wrath is completely clear, which I suppose I should have known since it is a sparkling water drink after all.
I didn’t detect much of an odor at all from this drink. The soda water definitely has a hint of root beer to it and tastes kind of creamy. However, the aftertaste is not great.
However, when compared to the prebiotic root beers I have had, this one is head and shoulders better!
I believe the agave nectar is probably the cause of the weird aftertaste or it could be the stevia, which I have never enjoyed.
The Wrap Up
Liquid Death has fun with its drinks. I like their tag line of “Murder your thirst” and they stuck a “Recycle or Die” on the can as well, which fits their theme quite well.
The drink itself isn't my favorite, but that’s mostly because I don’t like seltzer. If I were trying to reduce my soda intake, I would consider this drink, though. You could also use it to water down other root beers, so you wouldn’t be drinking so much sugar.
