Since 2012. Also referred to as Hommel Extra Dry Hopping. Available in 20 l kegs.
From the brewery's website:
Aan deze variant van het klassieke Poperings Hommelbier wordt tijdens de rijping een extra portie hop toegevoegd. Dit procedé wordt ook wel dry hopping genoemd. Terwijl hop toevoegen tijdens het brouwen zorgt voor extra aroma en bitterheid, zorgt hop tijdens de rijping voor een echte florale hopsmaak.
De Hommel Dry Hopped heeft hetzelfde karakter als de klassieke variant, maar het dry hoppen zorgt voor een unieke hop-toets die enkel met Poperingse hop kan bekomen worden. De extra hint van groen gras en lentebloemen levert een andere balans op tussen de verschillende smaken van dit bier, wat een meer uitgesproken bitterheid oplevert.

Clear golden color with small white head. Aroma is sweet hops. Taste is bitter, some off flavours that are hard to describe, with a weird spiciness. Low carbonation. Meh, not my kind of beer.

On tap at PreFunk. Light hazy orange,/golden pour. Slight, silky off white head. Light citrus (oranges) aroma, followed by malty, hoppy flavor, short, sharp, bitter finish. Creamy Belgian texture brought to an abrupt end by the dry hopping. Nice.

Tap at Cafe Kandinsky, Tilburg. Dark orange color, tiny white head. Grainy, wet dog aroma. Light-bodied. Strangely thin for abv. Light grassy hoppyness. Light fruity, Belgian yeasty flavors. Meh. I didn’t warmed to the original years ago and this is not much better.
