Needs different yeast. & hops

I brewed this 6 weeks ago, racked it into the keg 4 weeks ago, & allowed it to sit for a month. Not a bad start, but next time I'd use Wyeast 1056, and maybe add a few lbs. of 2-row to raise the O.G., and also use different hops. Maybe Hallertau? I get a nasty, finishing bitter taste with this, so I'm not sure what the deal is.
