Very yeasty fresh hefeweizen on tap?

Kind of a random question, perhaps. Just curious on thoughts about this particular issue.

I was in Denver last weekend, and we visited Wynkoop Brewing Co on both Friday and to meet up with a friend on Saturday. On Friday, I had some of their beers that I liked. An Imperial IPA and a Belgian seasonal and a few samplers. They were out of their Wixa Weiss, but no big deal. I'm not a huge wheat beer drinker. Well when we came back on Saturday, we were just going to be there for one beer, so I asked if they had their weiss back on tap. At 4.8% and with a long night ahead of us, I wanted something sessionable. They did, so my boyfriend and I both ordered a pint.

When they brought it out to us, it seriously looked like a milkshake. Just totally opaque solid yeast. When I swirled it a bit to smell the aroma, it also had the consistency of a milkshake. Pure yeast goo. Somewhat apprehensively, I took a sip. It was all banana and clove and in your face yeast (no surprise). There was hardly any citrusy wheat flavor. My boyfriend actually quite liked it...he said it "felt healthy to drink" haha, gross! He finished his, and I couldn't get through mine. After awhile, it just started tasting meaty and dank in a not good way. There was murky yeast grime coating the glass instead of lace. It was unpleasant. I LIKE unfiltered beers with some yeast character, but this was disgusting.

Now, I realize it was a very fresh beer. They had just gotten it back on tap. As a homebrewer, I know that yeast can take awhile to settle. So is this just a well-known strategy? To avoid very fresh hefs like it's a well-known strategy to avoid old IPAs? I would have thought that the brewers would have done something about the issue before they announced that it was ready, and then my bartender would have noticed that he was serving us pure yeast before giving us our beers. I read the reviews after, and they all say it's a hazy orange with minimal yeast and has a clear citrusy flavor. So the beers were were served was a huge misrepresentation.
