Can anyone give me a ball park figure on the bitterness of Coopers Pale, Coopers Lager, and VB ?

They're all quite low, 20-22 IBU's though I'm less certain about the Coopers Lager.
They all have low FG's - courtesy of varying amounts of sugar, added enzymes and other lovelies - which give a higher perceived bitterness than the actual low 20's IBU's.

There was a post on this just before XMAS ...
