I think you are right about the warm tubing. Longer beer lines usually reduce foaming. What pressure are you using?

12' of 3/16 will not give you foam problems because of length, so it must have been something else. If you're sure the beer isn't overcarbed, then warm tubing/shanks could cause some foam.

how did you do the carbonation for the brew?
i can attest to the over carbonation. i usually force carb at 40 psi and the beer is done in one day, but i forgot about the beer and left it for 3 days under 40 psi. holy crap is was foamy. even after the foam settled, it was so carbonated it was burning my esophagus.
make sure the tap is WIDE open, as partially opening it creates turbulance and blows CO2 out of solution.
how fast can you pour a pint? too fast is a sign of not enough resistance, but if its a nice reasonable pour then its probably just new, warm lines.
