I guess I'm the only pedant here who saw this question a bit differently.
One of the very definitions of H20 is that it is a clear, colorless, odorless, and tasteless liquid.
To someone who had never tasted water, I'd inform them the above; it has absolutely no taste.
Any level of impurity in water will make it taste differently, but trying to explain all of those variations is tough even to someone who HAS tasted it. Water itself should have none.
And that's totally ignoring the issue of someone who has never tasted water - how have they survived, up to this point? Without some sort of intravenous drip of water, they would soon die. My primary concern would be in helping them start drinking water, not explaining to them what it tasted like.
This is probably why I'm so bad at creative, expository, or imaginative writing.
