Even including some space for the head, a 12oz bottle doesn't fill that glass.

I'm thinking its a US pint.
I'm confused. A US pint is 16 oz. The Boston Lager is 355 ml which is approx 12 oz. And this glass is the perfect size for that much beer and ends up looking much like it's pictured here:

This glass is a 16oz glass. I measured the ones that I picked up Friday. Also it looked pretty damn close to that picture when I poured a bottle into it Friday night.

Yeah. You know. It's amazing how much more sense things make after I've had my morning coffee.

Question: Does anyone really notice a difference in their sensory experience when drinking from one of these?
