Is "how does it taste" correct?
1. What does it taste like?
2. How does it taste?

I googled and everyone agrees that 1 is correct and the answers to 1 should be the descriptions of the taste.
But there were some arguments on 2, where someone think it's correct and some think it's uncommon.
If I just want to know the taster's idea, like is it tasty or not, what should I say? Can I use 2?
