John: The foam doesn't count. There must be one Imperial pint (or one half or one third) of actual liquid. A publican can be fined or can even have his/her license taken away for violating this law.

Since the top of the glass contains foam, one might be close if one says the actual contents of the glass is 500 mL of liquid and 68 mL of foam. Can't say for sure if this is the case, but it sure sounds good.
