I've not been to the UK for six years, and the way I'd answer this question is that while the Brits produce numerous wretched golden lagers, cheaply, without obvious merit and in contrast to their own glorious history of ale-making, these haven't yet infiltrated the world market. That's good.
My point is that those characteristics that make Belgian beer Belgian ... that make English ale English ... and so on .. are not reflected at all by internationally-marketed Euro lagers.
