It says hazy on the can, and you can normally take the brewer's word for it when they do. After all, Cammo explained to me once that making a hazy beer is easier than making a properly filtered beer, as you... don't have to filter. So, you get it hazy, which doesn't really change the flavor of the beer. I would say that any ingredient that is normally filtered out will change the resulting beverage in at least some way.
The yellow beer is, indeed, hazy. It's possible the haziness actually contributes to the particularly light shade of yellow. The head isn't really boisterous. I bet it will leave at least some lacing, but it won't be a whole lot. The aroma is light tangerines and grapefruit over a sweet malt that really enhances the smell more than you might expect.
First sip is ... I'll say it ... astounding. The sweet malt balances so incredibly well that the fruits are allowed to hop around, enjoying the world. The pillowy mouthfeel is just icing on the cake. If the full gulp manages to follow this sip, I will jump around and sing the praises of Fat Bottom... OR, I might just finish the beer. No one can tell what will happen. No one knows the future!
Tip-in is mild carbonation over sweet grapefruit that has a certain tartness that is really jiving with me. The middle goes into heavy smoothness with carbonation sparkling across the top of the mouth. The finish is a highlighting of the pillowy mouthfeel and fruits into the trail off.
Bottom Line: Pretty close to perfect.
