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.

Quite like the normal one, just a slight change in the aroma hop. The original is better.

Draft @19de Internationale BierHappening, Zottegem. Dorée, col blanc épais. Arôme est houblonné très présent, malt moyen avec un fruité me rappelant un peu un raisin blanc léger. Le out garde un arôme typique de pils houblonné, possible des houblons de Poperinge avec qcq alpha acide bien présent comme respirer un houblon frais avant brassage. Palais est typique, houblon laissant ce profile très frais, note herbacée pour amertume prenant dans le style bien belge. Je note aussi ce léger côté fruité allant vers un résineux léger qui est caché sous une amertume prenante. Solide comme bière et agréable.

Draught at Pressklubben, Stockholm. Clear deep golden, small head. Distinct spicy hop aroma. Dry and fruity with above medium body and well rounded mouthfeel. Richly hoppy, aromatic and spicy. Long growing bitterness. Really good.

25 cl. draft @ Bier Circus: very lightly hazy golden honey with a small white head // very grass, floral hops on the nose, definitely European hops (always an odd choice for me for dry hopping) & some honey & caramel // taste is medium sweet caramel, malts, honey & some light candy sugar going into a rather weird overriding floral, grass & mainly herbal finish, almost like toothpaste or some light hygienic stuff, odd, mildly bitter // medium body, lightly oily, medium to low carb. // definitely a different take on dry hopping than the American one but not necessarily original in a good way, by the end of my glass, I kind of never wanted to have anything like this ever again // regular version is definitely preferable
