frothless

Lacking any bubbles

Frothless means lacking froth or foam—the bubbly layer that forms on top of liquids like beer, coffee, or ocean waves.

The word describes beverages served without their usual head: a frothless cappuccino, the beer sat frothless in the glass.

Figuratively, frothless can suggest something stripped of superficial excitement or empty embellishment.
