This new IPA is full of Amarillo and Cascade hops; they imbue the beer with bold, yet refreshing citrus notes followed up by a tall forest of aromas leading you to a perfectly balanced and brilliantly bitter beer. You’ll find Rapid on draft all year long and will be our flagship IPA going forward! Cheers!

From City Brew Tours, canned March 26th 2023.
Pours a clear a medium gold with a good head of foam that shrinks fairly slowly, lacing is good.
It smells hoppy, duh, it is dry hopped, with notes of pine and grapefruit citrus. There's also an indicator of tropical fruit.
The taste is grapefruit citrus, pine, cracker malt, tropical fruitiness I mentioned in the smell is kept in check, which I like. Bitterness is a tad more, imho, than moderate as per the label.
Good mouthfeel, interesting IPA. If it was available locally, I might visit it from time to time.

Draft at Vivant. Pours a clear gold to light amber with a finger of white foam. Pine and resin on the nose with some mild grapefruit aromas. Palate is similar. Balanced caramel sweetness with dry, pithy citrus and resin. Bitter finish.
