Keg Pouring All Foam

Something clogging the dip tube causing turbulence and foam? I think I'd disconnect the QD first, disassemble and clean and reattach. Or use a different one. If you have multiple faucets, what happens when you switch the line?
Did you dry hop or add something like coffee beans or cocoa nibs or...something like that?
And this is very unlikely, but if you have a hole in your dip tube, or it's not fully sealed somehow (more likely), you may be leaking CO2 into the line along with the beer.
Just some ideas.

How cold?
In my experience, diptubes are the first thing to freeze and when they draw beer through the ice crystals it will pour straight foam.
Just one other thing to check.

probably not, but fusarium? just in case...that **** screwed my liver for a month!
If there is foam in the beer line the most likely cause is the small o-ring under the Out dip tube flange is missing or damaged, allowing CO2 in the head space to be injected into the beer stream.
Next is a partial plug in the poppet, or the disconnect, or the long dip tube.
Then there's the over-carbed keg case, followed by the frozen keg.
Last would be a pin hole high up on the keg Out dip tube. I've read of two of those.
Work through it...
Cheers!

Are you sure? Over carbonated beer will foam badly when you pour, then be under-carbonated in the glass.
