What is the best way to photograph a mug of beer, correctly capturing the head, and color? I've taken a couple pictures but have not posted here because they did not correctly reflect the characteristics. I'm not looking to become a professional photographer, and I am using a small point and shoot camera ( digital fairly good resolution) Any pointers? Natural light in front, natural light behind, artificial light, etc).
Some of the best beer photos I've done were taken outside with natural light. Try it in different spots and at different times of the day to experiment with the lighting. I use flash very rarely because it reflects off of the glass.

When taking photos outside you want the sun behind you. When indoors make sure you adjust your white balance to the type of light you are shooting under.
