Mahr’s U is basically Bass, isn’t it?

It's ok Jim, had a pint last week but, like so many beers, it's changed greatly over the years. It's lost that great yeasty taste that U reminded me of. Of course, it's now brewed by Marston's but not in the Yorkshire squares.

It does beg the question what's in a name? You've got Young's, which is now 2 breweries away from its origin, Courage, I don't know how many breweries away, and you could go on and on.  Surely a case could be made under the Trade Descriptions Act about ththe veracity of these names?
