We found them.
SOLDIER #1:
Found them? In Mercia? The coconut's tropical!
ARTHUR:
What do you mean?
SOLDIER #1:
Well, this is a temperate zone...
Oh, oh um. Homegrown hops that is...
Made a SMaSH, actually 2 of them. Each with Marris otter then homegrown Centennial for one and an unknown homegrown hop for the other. I used homegrown for all additions. Bittering, flavor and aroma. I wanted to see how well they would bitter. Was fairly low but still got the job done.
The Centennial brew tastes like coconut! Never tasted that before in a hop.
Well, two mitigating factors to consider, a)my taste buds may be shot to hell and b) I may or may not have confused the brews whilst boiling and added the wrong additions to the wrong brew...
I guess I would not recommend a "serious scientific" experiment whilst imbibing.
Regardless it is a very coconutty flavor. The other one which is supposed to be the feral/wild hop is not particularly remarkable flavor wise. Not bad, just not distinctive.
