Just hooked up my faucet on my keezer. I'm running 6' of 1/4" ID beer line at 10psi at 40~42* and I'm getting nothing but foam. If I pour from my picnic tap, I get a perfect pour every time. What gives?!

I've brewed my second version of arrogant bastard and the second go at it is BAD! Malt character is there, I carb in the keg, but NO hoppy-ness AT ALL! I used a hop spider for the first time ever, could that be the problem? Can I drain the co2 on the keg, open it, dry hop it and Jon return...
