"Americano" NF glass' inner surface is smooth, why would it create nucleation points?

Ice cold pilsener is a hallmark of beer drinking in Brazil, a mostly tropical nation where one wants its drinks to be as refreshing as nature allows.

They were talking about frost build-up from freezing a large stein glass. If any frost gets onto the inner surface of a glass, it creates nucleation points.

But wouldn't that frost melt immediately upon contact with the (relatively) warmer beer?

Maybe foam creation is also immediate, and wins that race to some extent?

If you're drinking beer quickly from a small 19 cl glass, then beer going flat is less of a worry
