Sounds the gelatin didn't work.  It should clear in 30 days without.

Did you chill it?

Yes. I use gelatin the same way I have used it for years. Weird.

Thirty days of lagering generally clears everything.

So strange - Funny thing is that I made a wheat ale that dropped dead nuts clear even when using 50% wheat in the recipe.
