"Or you might like an ale..."
er..in the UK ale is commonly called "bitter", its usually much more heavily hopped than lager.
On the original question. Yes. Beer is supposed to be bitter. The only beers that aren't are:
Belgian Lambics - which are sour
Dreadfull watery brews like "Bud" (the American, not the Czec version) etc. But here you're better off with Perrier.

Did you click his links? You probably should click them before "correcting" him. :)
Yep - probably should have clicked them before!
A good bitter is properly balanced.
And Scottish ales which are heavily malty.
German beers are nicely balanced.
American lagers are more dry than bitter.

And Guinness - sorry, Guines - is very heavy, I suppose? God, generalisations!
You can always brew your own.
grab a Schabenbrau, probably spelled wrong (sic), that's a good ol' German beer.
Guinness is NOT heavy for chrissake. Why do you think is floats on Harp? It's dark. Yes. Stout is dark. Can we all move along now?
But it's specific gravity is very low.
