Sounds to me like the line is just a little short (maybe a foot). An easy way to test that out would be to turn the regulator down to 8 or 10 psi, vent the keg, and pour yourself a glass. If the beer comes out without excessive head, you know that 12 psi is just a bit too high for the 5 ft length of tubing.
