This was the best mass-produced beer I had during my visit to Australia. It completely shames beers like Miller Lite, Budweiser, or other common beers here in the US.

I will agree that it is not the best in the world, but it is really easy to drink many of these quickly.

I'll echo statements that this is in my 2nd tier of great beers below a 10-rating tier that includes Newcastle, Widmer's Hefeweisen (tap only...they ruined the bottling somehow), and a few other craft beers.

Victoria Bitter is not a bad beer, I certainly don't dislike this beer, very satisfying on a hot summers day. I would definitely say it's better than most lagers i.e. Fosters, Carling etc.. But don't believe the Aussies when they tell you it's the best beer in the world because that it is not. I would recommend it but if you're more into full flavored less chemical tasting beers then I'd say go for English brews like; Newcastle Brown, Boddingtons, London Pride, Green King IPA... Depending on how adventurous you are! ;-)
