Not using any of that wacky chartreuse malt, are ya?I've not seen green head on any non-green beer.
Does the head look the same outdoors in (brief) sunlight? Can you take a pic and post it?
I just drank the last of it. I'll see if my next batch has the same problem and take a pic.

Some of my really hoppy beers (and some super hoppy beers I have had at breweries) have a slightly greenish tinge to the head...but that shouldn't be the case with a hefe unless you are hopping the heck out of it.

I wonder - I don't usually drain the hops from the boil after the wort is chilled. I just dump the whole mess into the fermenter - sludge and all - and rely on the stuff to settle to the bottom of the fermenter. I also don't use a secondary. Do you think that could impact the color of the head?
