I like hazed & infused OK: it's a little out of balance (hops dominate everything) IMHO.
I'm pretty sure it's dryhopped with Chinook, so it has that harsher flavor element that some folks don't care for in Chinook.
If it were, say, 10 gravity points higher with the same hopping schedule, I bet I'd like it a lot better (i.e. there'd be a touch of maltiness to round out the massive hop flavor).
It's an interesting beer, though: probably something I'd order on a hot day at a bar where the drafts are served very cold. (I think I taste the hops more in a very cold beer, and since hops are really all there is to taste in this one...) I've had a few sessions of these at the sports bar I go to to watch football games sometimes.
