LOL great thread, I wondered the same thing admittedly. Never understood why anyone would want a bunch of foam "in the way" of their nectar. Now I know.
 
Frankly, I usually try to get at least a little head. At least at the start. That is where it is most important. Although some people like to have good head throughout. Only the best provide that though.

Truer words have never been spoken......:rockin:
 
Being a fan of Stouts, I like a beer with some nice head and a creamy finish.
 
I've read that many brewers will include a dash of wheat in the recipes to get a little more head. Whatever you have to do to get more...is never a bad thing.
 
A perfect head on a pint of bitter for me is about half an inch of a fairly coarse head at pouring, which dissipates fairly quickly to a laced surface. Head is very style dependent.
