Mahr's U brewed in UK?

I mean the brewing of ale (top fermented) and calling it a lager. Schiehallion by Harveistoun was an example - a good beer, but not a lager. Just using a lager yeast, European hops and a few weeks extra cooling does not make it a lager. Does Kolsch taste like an cask ale? No.  I'm not so fussed how they serve it - if they brewed a proper lager I would expect it to be colder than a real ale. The carbonation needs to be right too. It surely can't be cask conditioned either. It's just different.  Although I have been a strong critic, i think 'ruined' is a little too much. Ruined for me/us but others  would be perfectly happy.
