I see alot of post concerning problems with excessive foam, but what is considered to be the perfect amount of foamy head on normal American style ales.
How much foam is considered good

"perfect" is not going to the same number for everybody, but I like about an inch on top of a pint.

About an inch is where I am on my pours and is what I have ussually seen on other peoples systems. Sometimes I'll see up to about 2 fingers of foam which is around 1 1/4" on some of my pours. I've read so many posts about to much foam, I started second guessing myself thinking maybe I was actually getting to much.
