I haven't had it yet, but it's not your typical ice cream. Haagen Dazs, while delicious, has a little more air whipped into it, and is probably machine-packed as it's not as crazy dense.
You might just not be a fan of super-dense ice cream, but I do know Graeter's basically has zero air content and requires small batches and hand packing in order to produce the way it is.

You might need to temper it (put it in the fridge for a bit) - ultra-premium ice cream tends to need softening to really bring out the best qualities.

i AM a fan of super dense ice cream, and this did not feel creamy at all.

it felt more ice/sorbet like.

That's also a possibility.

Graeters is super creamy...almost the consistency of butter. If he had ice crystals forming it was thawed and refrozen. The store's freezers probably screwed up and thawed out the product.
