Well, that's why it gushed, because you opened it warm. Do what jorge said and chill a couple down.

What's really satisfying is drinking a beer you've made while making the next batch. I usually drink a couple as a bottling ritual.
Yeah once it's cold, you're going to be extra pleased 
I had one from my first batch last night that I bottled a few weeks ago and it was awesome.
This weekend I bottle batch #2 and hopefully boil up my first batch using real grains and hops and not just pre-hopped extracts. Very exciting and satisfying!

The question is, why would you want to open and drink a warm beer?

I almost always drink beer that is luke warm. Allows me to fully appreciate all of the different flavor intricacies. Cold just kills the palate but I do chill my HB's for at least 4 hours before I even think of opening one. Its usually overnight chill....out of the fridge for an hour...open and enjoy.
