What kind of headfoam do you prefer?

    I've noticed certain regions to have specific continuities in what it's expected from a headfoam at the pubs. Do you like yours a certain way all the time, or do you go with the flow based on the type of beer? Myself, I don't really discriminate, depends on the beer.

    German & Eastern European - 1.5 to 2 solid inches of foam

    Too much foam and I get annoyed, just enough and it compliments the beer nicely.

    dude, that's too much. I really dislike head on just about all beers except heavy ales and stouts.

    head on pilsners and wheat ales just tastes punky and ruins the experience.

    I just stay away from Wheat Ales. I dont enjoy them.

    Yeah, generally I don't drink true wheat beers. Weizens, wheat mixed with other stuff, they're good... hoegaarden, schneiderweiss.. those are good ones, but full-wheat beers are just boring

    One might as well be drinking water.

    lol, yeah. In a small glass. And then they wipe the top of the foam off with the knife. I laughed.

    They obviously aren't exciting beers, but who says you need to have your boots knocked off everytime you have a beer?

    Well, I just figure if I'm spending pub prices on a pint, I'd want it to be a noticable pint. 5 bucks for a pint of water = <A BORDER="0" HREF="http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?displayFAQ=y"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="pitlane/emoticons/sad.gif"></A>

    Well obviously if you're at a pub. But if I just finished cutting the lawn in 30C weather, I'm not going to want a kilkenny. I want something light and easy.

    Good point. I personally would reach for a cold Moose on a hot day before a wheat beer, but to each his own.

    haha yeah that's true.

    I prefer my beer to have the correct amount of head for the beer, obviously. Its the only solution.

    It really depends on the beer but beer definately needs a nice foamhead
