I ordered this set of 4 pub glasses for what they are - pint glasses. Designed for 16 ounces they do an excellent job of holding a 12-14 ounce pour that leaves room for an appropriate head to one's beer. This is what a pint glass is supposed to look like as opposed to the "shaker" glasses that so many establishments use as their beer glasses. I find that they are an elegant design. The only reason this particular set didn't get an excellent rating was that the glass isn't as heavy or sturdy as past pub glass sets that I have purchased.
