I didn't look at the water quality when I made this batch of beer. I not long moved to Ramsgate and just went ahead and brewed a kit beer I have done many times before.
Anyway.... Its tastes awful this time.
Taste of blood or Pennies.
Cheaked the water quality and there is a large amount of copper in our supply.
Obviously I'm using bottled water from here on out.
But.... Is there anyone who has managed to save there beer. I don't think there is anything I can add to compensate for a metal taste but it's worth an ask since I have 40 pints of it.
 
I had that happen with a beer when I first used my copper wort chiller. The copper was so clean and shiny that it ended up imparting the same off flavor you mention. Unfortunately I don't think there's any saving it.
 
Try adding lemon, orange or raspberry fruit syrup as you pour into a glass. One or another might work better. If none really work right, mix two or all three and try that.
