Head retention

[JeffDragon7]

Hi all
i brewed some MJ red Irish ale no tweaking just as per instructions. After 2 to 3 weeks in the bottle I tried a few all had a nice head which remained and clung to the glass as I drank it.
no 5 weeks old I opened two bottles, both had nice carbonation and I could hear the fizz on opening but literally no head at all
tastes okay just looks sad. Any ideas

Likely the glass. Polish the next glass and see if it makes a difference. If it tastes ok don’t worry about the lacing.

John I poured the 2nd half into another glass. Which I ran under the cold tap to rinse, I think too much detergent so left residue
thanks for advice
