I recently brewed a NEIPA and decided to ferment and dry-hop right in the keg (using a nylon bag for the hop pellets). Got it all carbed up and had my first pour just now. It taste good, but has a weirdly creamy/foamy head, almost reminds me of the krausen. I don’t think it’s a big deal, but it seems weird and I’m thinking it may be off-putting to some people. Is this typical when fermenting and serving from the same keg? Is it due to the dry-hopping? Thanks all!
First time fermenting in a keg question...

It's not typical IME. But I rarely dryhop (not a big fan). Done properly, fermenting in kegs does lead to a nice, fluffy, long-lasting foamy head though.
