It's bad, water from Russia gives light but has better tast. I like my beer from Germany, Belgium or the south of the Netherlands...
OK - now you've pushed one of my buttons! Yes, I have drunk British ale. It is among the finest ales in the world, IMO.

Don't confuse ales with lagers - the popular German, Belgian, and Dutch beers are lagers. They brew all kinds of "beers" there, of course, but the popular ones tend to be the lagers (which includes pilsners). Either that or bocks.

The best ale in Britian (IMO) is Pedigree Bitter, from the midlands area. I don't mean the bottled, pasturized stuff, but the "real ale" - draft only, available locally only, unpasturized. A great ale.
