What makes a good beer glass?

Here's an interesting story on choosing beer glasses (not goggles) I saw today over on NYTimes.  There's also some photos of glasses Garrett Oliver likes.  I particularly like the Nostetangen Klukk beer glass.  The wonderful prunts harken back to those seen on the German roemer glass of the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
