From the brewer

Torpedo Pilsner ditches the traditional German “noble” hops and heads south of the equator for inspiration. With a traditional golden malt body, this “kiwi” pils features intense fruity and floral New Zealand-grown Motueka and Southern Cross hops, making this an alternate and delicious take on the classic pilsner.

Who's been drinking this

Perfumey smell and on the palate, but a pretty well rounded pilsner otherwise.
Hint of floral perfume starts early and keeps on going, masking a lot of what appears to be a solid underlying pilsner. Good cereal is all that pokes out before finishing bitter.
