- Are you a from the South of England by any chance? Those of us from (Eastern)
- Scotland and civilised parts of England find beer served without a
- sparkler to be lacking PROPER condition. Beers served behind the Tory
- Curtain tend to have bubbles which are too big, the beer also lacks
- any smoothness. Maybe the fake head you
- are talking about is on fake beers like Tetley, Boddingtons, any S&N tosh
- etc etc, which use heading agents and/or loads of adjucnts.
- I guess the reason why southerners like a headless pint is that they
- are so mean that they have got to have a full pint!
- Of course it's all really what you are used to - a flat, insipid
- pint, or a smooth, creamy (but not over creamy) pint.
