Default foamy pour, but beer seems flat

I have a home made kegerator (mini fridge with tower faucet on top) that has worked well in the past with my homebrews. I recently purchased a quick disconnect system with a sanke keg tap for commercial kegs. I have a 5 gallon keg of Bear Republic's Racer 5, and foolishly didn't check the temp of my fridge when I hooked it up, freezing the beer overnight. The beer is now thawed, and I have had my co2 tank set at 15 PSI. When I pour myself a pint, the beer tastes fine, but it comes out quick and foamy, and the beer itself seems flat. Might this be because I accidently froze my keg that it made the carbonation all weird? Can I force carbonate a commercial keg as I do my homebrews? Should I just change the PSI on my Co2?

Specs:

Maintain fridge temp at 40 degrees
CO2 line is approx 5' long
Beer line is approx 5' long.
