Speaking of MALT, I was genuinely (and pleasantly) surprised
recently with the improved quality of bottled Gordon Biersch Märzen.
Not a limp-dick-caramel-malt-poseur any more, but some authentic
German-style MALT flavor. Not quite on par with the real deal,
but certainly on par with, say, Saxer Amber of memory (RIP),
which makes it about the best domestic Amber/Oktoberfest/Märzen
regularly available to me.

Mind you, I'm talking about the bottled stuff from San Jose, not the
variably SHITE-to-GOOD draught versions from any of the ubiquitous,
variably SHITE-to-GOOD GB brew pubs.
