I have a keg of cream ale that has been chilled and on the gas for almost 3 weeks. Sampled it today and find a medicine aftertaste with this beer. Can I do anything to fix this batch?
Can anything be done to fix the medicine taste in beer?

Nothing that I can think of, sorry!
Medicinal flavors tend to come from two places- chlorine in the brewing water, or infection. Nothing I know of can fix either one.
I dumped 10 gallons of band-aid pale ale myself this fall.

I use RO water and saw no signs of any infection but I guess it can happen. The third pull on this keg had less of a medicine taste.
Part of me wants to say "catch a cold; that way, the medicine taste will make sense." Seeing as I am just getting over a really nasty bout of...something that makes me sound like I have a 1920s coal miner disease, I'm not going to say so.

Sorry to hear you had to dump 10 gallons. I think I should dump the yeasy I washed from this batch just to be safe..\
