Looks like one of those silly turbid East Coast IPAs posted lately. Edit - Or like Joe said, the last pour before the keg blows.
Silly? Come on now. You can't get that character without the haze.

Regardless, I know some use a ton of flaked oats which can cause quite a bit of haze. What are they doing then?

There are a handful of home brewers (Bloggers) that have used flour and I think a lot of people ran with that idea. I can't find the source right now but at least one of the NE brewers (guy from Trillium maybe?) spoke out that they were not adding flour to their beer.ETA:Nope, it was Treehouse. https://mobile.twitter.com/treehousenate/status/679483705119916032?p=v

Regardless, I don't get it. I know some of those beers are fantastic, just don't get somebody seeking to put out an IPA that looks turbid. Maybe just a reaction to the clearer, drier West Coast beers. All good though.
The turbidity is required to achieve those two things.
