Pasteurization consists in destroying micro-organisms and yeasts in the beer in order to ensure its stability and conservation.
Beers aren't always pasteurized. For instance, this is the case for beers refermented in the bottle. In this case, addition of yeasts when bottling doesn't allow such a process.
Beer with a light foam. These beers should be served in a glass quite tall in order to obtain a beautiful collar, and with a head thiner than the body to help the foam to form.
Tip: serve a first part of the beer and begin to enjoy. Then serve the rest of the beer to obtain some foam again.
As the foam is light, thirsty people can drink this beer from the bottle :-)
