Oh it tastes bitter, I'm not disputing that. It's just that calling a beer a "bitter" like that generally means it's an English pale ale (i.e. fermented at room temperature with top fermenting yeast, some residual malt sugars remaining after fermentation, and fairly strongly hopped). Vic Bitter and Melbourne Bitter should be called Vic Lager and Melbourne Lager, because they're fermented at reduced temperature, and the malt sugars are fully consumed during fermentation. They're lager by definition. Yeah, I'm a beer ponce
