I certainly appreciate the beauty and effort that goes into a crystal clear beer. I would never try to make a beer hazy just for the sole sake of appearance, but if the haze is a byproduct of a specific brewing process used to feature certain flavors and aromas, I'm not going to go out of my way to try and clear it. There's still a lot of unknown factors that attribute to the haze which I find really fascinating.
I feel a lot of people have hyped the hazy beers to the point they're easy to dislike, even for someone who likes hazy beers, but there definitely seems to be a movement inching away from super clear beer even from the west coast guys. Enjoy By Unfiltered and Unfiltered Sculpin are the 2 popular ones that come to mind. Even Stone's product line seems to feature more fruited IPAs these days. Fortunately, I like them all so the variety is a good thing, imo.
I definitely picked up a predominant amount of orange citrus that I typically get from Amarillo in my sample.
Also, I dumped Photobucket for Imgur after that bullshit they pulled and have been really pleased, although I just started using it for new pics and haven't tried to transfer my library.
