As others have said probably sulfur.

We lived in a place with a well like that for 10 years and it was no better or worse from the time we bought till we sold.

Pour a glass from the tap and it looked like soda pop for 10-15 seconds, as soon as the bubbles were gone the taste was fine.

Had the water tested by the health department when the children were born and other than being higher than normal for fluoride it was just fine.

If you want to check for high iron, fill up a white 5 gal pail with the water, dump in a tablespoon of bleach and let it sit overnight.

If your water is high in iron like our current well you will have a red sediment on the bottom come morning.

A softener does a good job of controlling this.
