Radio Edit is a Hazy West Coast pale ale. The haze comes from protein and a high rate of dry hopping that leaves the beer opaque. The West Coast part means it’s aggressive with crisp hop flavor, assertive bitterness and a lingering lemongrass finish. Well hopped with Galaxy, Citra and Motueka the beer has aromas and flavors of lemon and orange peel, jasmine, melon and pine.

Looks like I'm the first to review this in the can. Gotta love that delivery option when you like in BFE and dislike SG bc yr an East Bay kid who got tf outta there. Poured into a Marquette 1969 jersey pint glass.
Pours a cloudy light straw yellow appearance. I looks like a hazy ipa. But they say it isn't. Big 1" full on white head. The aroma had a big lemongrass aspect to it, not the usual Galaxy, Citra, Moteuka combo. It smelled (and tasted) very different than my expectations for those three hops. Instead of sweet citrus and pineapple, you just get a bunch of lemon/lemongrass. Not bad, just different.
Taste followed the nose, this had more of a neomexicanus meets classic C hop kind of rind and pine with some lemon lime aspect. Pretty crushable. Average bitterness. Has a bit of that pilsner body feel and crispness, the cloudiness isn't a hazy flaked oat or wheat thing, they say its like hop protein, whatever.
Good stuff, not my fave Cellarmaker pale, but its different.

On tap at Cellarmaker House of Pizza
A: Pours hazy golden straw yellow with a frothy off white head that settles to a light layer and laces nicely.
S: Zesty citrus, grassy, nice underlying tropical fruit, light dank herbal notes, crackery malt, and a touch of light caramel sweetness.
T: Bright, citrus, lemon, lime, and grapefruit, light tropical fruit, passion fruit, apricot, peach, and mango, grassy, a little classic Cellarmaker dank herbalness, crackery malt, and just a touch of sweetness.
M: Light to medium body, moderate carbonation
O: Cellarmaker doing what they do. Crisp, bright, zesty, and dry. When you're escaping 110° heat in the valley, this hits the spot.

Had on tap at the source.
This was slightly hazy. Found this had a wonderful tropical-fruit burst of flavor. Deceptively light aroma. I liked it, would drink again.

Tap at the brewery, should be right up my alley with galaxy, citra, mothers
Decent foamy bubbly head, sticky lacing, very hazy pale blond color
Nose citrus, pineapple rind, pith, Clementine citrus, little toasty malt, floral notes and a bit of stone fruit
Taste mild sweet cracker malt, toasty, then hops, juicy citrus, tons of pith again, pineapple rind, little dankness, mint and Jasmine floral notes, genetic citrus, little lemon lime, fair bitterness, finishes fairly dry and pretty bitter
Mouth is med bod, nice fluffy carb
Overall pretty nice, interesting flavor with less bright fruit than I expected but a nice melange of hop characters
All we hear is radio gaga, radio goo goo, radio edit
