While the new recipe Fat Tire includes the same malts as the original recipe, it features all new hops. The brew also includes raw barley, which lightened the body of the beer"This is new to me. Is anyone familiar with using raw barley?

I've used flaked barley, which is unmalted malted barley that has been gelantanized by the flaking process. This was a work around to emulate using chit malt. This was in a pilsner at about 5%, to give more body and foam retention. I didn't notice any haze at that level. It the new Fat Tire a Hazy?https://crispmalt.com/malts/chitmalt/#:~:text=Chit%20Malt%20is%20a%20great,particularly%20beneficial%20for%20hazy%20brews.
