My solution was, as others have said, basic water treatment. Camden tablets first then adjust the water ph - nothing more so far. My beers are now more balanced and lack aftertastes.

Could be worse :-)

There's really no way of knowing the make up of your water if it's rain water. You'd be better off buying cheap bottled water. It could be worth boiling it before use (if you're not already doing that). Water treatment can significantly affect the way the hops taste.
