∙ 10y agoEvery true beer connoisseur will tell you that there are only two terms for the foam atop a beer: the head and the Krausen (in Deutsch Krausen is spelled with an umlaut u). Krausen is both a noun and a verb. As a noun (meaning frizz or ruffle) it is descriptive of the foam that forms when beer ferments naturally (as it should). Krausening beer, the verb, is when the brewer adds the fermenting wort to the brew (in simplest terms).

What causes the foam in beer?
Foam on top of beer which is produced by bubbles of gas, typically carbon dioxide, rising to the surface. The elements that produce the head are wort protein, yeast and hop residue. The carbon dioxide that forms the bubbles in the head is produced during fermentation. The carbonation can occur before or after bottling the beer. If the beer continues fermenting in the bottle, then it naturally carbonates and the head is formed upon opening and/or pouring the beer. If the beer is pasteurized or filtered then the beer must be force carbonated using pressurized gas.
