Same goes for pretty much everything. Hot pizza vs cold pizza. Cold ice cream vs melted. Hot coffee vs iced coffee. Warm beer vs cold beer.
Generally when food or drinks are cold, certain flavours and aromas are suppressed completely and others are muted.
Many people prefer cold water because the water they’re drinking contains metallic ions (calcium, magnesium, iron), organics, and chlorine. This stuff can taste and smell (especially the chlorine) quite nasty when warm or hot. On the other hand, if you have a really good water filter you can remove a lot of that stuff and get water that tastes pretty good even when warm or hot.
