Water has not taste becasue we perceive tastes through the taste buds on our tongue. The human tongue can perceive 4-5 different kinds of tastes: salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and more recently discovered 5th receptor that detects monosodium glutamate (MSG)
Each of these "tastes" can be defined in terms of small molecules that interact with the taste receptors. For instance, you perceive the sugars sucrose or fructose as "sweet", sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and other forms of salts as "salty." These different forms of perception play a number of roles.

It tastes like whatever you want it to taste like, because there is no sensor for water in our taste buds, it tastes like anything you want it to.
