The flavor combination is so good that I think Liquid Death could’ve gotten away with skipping the agave nectar to sweeten it - there is a natural edge to this flavor that sets it apart from the other two. On the palate, you’ll get a nice earthy and slightly malty base with a bergamot orange top note and a soft and delicate mouthfeel. While I don’t think the Grim Leafer delivers the same complexity as your typical Earl Grey tea there is a lot of great flavor found here. Even though the name feels a bit like a false promise, I still think it tastes pretty damn good.Īs a person who loves tea, Earl Grey is a flavor profile I’m very familiar with. In a way, it’s not an Arnold Palmer at all, just a citrusy black tea. There is no actual lemonade in this mix, it’s black tea and lemon juice concentrate so it doesn’t have that intense sweetness you’d expect from lemonade. It’s just sweet enough to not be bitter, but not so overly sweet that you can feel it eating away at your teeth. If you’ve ever had an Arnold Palmer made with sweet tea, this is far from that. Liquid Death’s version of the Arnold Palmer is very mild, it has a great balance between the earthy flavors of black tea with a subtle lemon top note. I’ll talk about them in the order I drank them, which was coincidently in alphabetical order, starting with the Armless Palmer. There is ‘Armless Palmer,’ which as you might’ve guessed is based on an Arnold Palmer (one part tea, one part lemonade), the most cryptic, Grim Leafer, which is based on an Earl Grey style black tea, and Rest In Peach, which features a mix of black tea and peach flavor. Since all but one of the names gives a clear indication of what the actual flavor is, let me break each down for you. If you’re a fan of Liquid Death you probably know the brand has never met a pun it doesn’t love and that unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your sense of humor) extends into the tea line. I haven’t been this legitimately scared of a commercial since Paul Giamatti voiced that weird Burger King commercial that was simply dubbed “ Nightmare.” No, they’re not actual grannies, and that makes the whole thing way more f*cking frightening. That hasn’t stopped Liquid Death from launching an ad campaign that combines Monty Python’s famous “Hell’s Grannies” sketch and Jackass stunts, merging the two ideas with a truly frightening commercial that shows grannies playing brutal death metal, grinding on rails, and shooting rockets out of their asses. Each can provides just 30mg of caffeine, as well as vitamins b6 and b12, which will give you a slight head change but won’t get you wired like a Red Bull or a cold brew coffee (which hover in the 100-200mg range). If you’re hoping for a kick out of this drink, keep hoping, because it’s not an energy drink it’s a lot more in line with a can of Coca-Cola (with a significantly healthier amount of sugar). Each can clocks in at 30 calories with just 6 grams of sugar from agave nectar. Like the Liquid Death flavored sparkling water, these drinks are all sweetened but… just barely. The new line will be sold as both single cans or 8-pack cases like the rest of the Liquid Death product family and are priced at $2.69 for a single can or $16.99 for the case. We’re totally on board if the brand wants to do that. What’s next? Liquid Death Soda?! No really, we’re asking. Liquid Death, the maker of every podcaster’s favorite canned water, is coming for Arizona Iced Tea’s crown! The brand (which makes water, sparkling water, and flavored sparkling water) has just launched a new line of low-sugar low-calorie iced teas in their signature tallboy style cans, giving us three puny-named flavors including Grim Leader, Armless Palmer, and Rest In Peach.
