I really liked the tiny ice cold beer glasses used in Amsterdam. I'd drink more beer if it was served in 1 dl glasses: those first two gulps is all the pleasure I get from beer.

Small glasses are associated with drinking beers that have low carbonation, such as kolsch (around Cologne), where any more than a taster and they'd go flat.

Can't think of one in Amsterdam it'd apply to but I'm sure that's the reason

Interesting. So that's true of all beers with low carbonation? Or is flatness appreciated anywhere?
