FWIW I poured a bottle of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale yesterday and there was zero head.

I've noticed quite a bit, both with SNPA and commercial beer in general, that if poured gently and at an angle there will sometimes be very little foam.

Try a 10-15 minute protein rest at 122* F before bringing the temp up to 150.  This will help with the Wheat malt to develop the head you're looking for.  I'm pretty sure this should fix your problem.
