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.

On tap at Zythos, Brabanthal, Leuven, Belgium Saturday 28th April 2012 Gold in colour and crystal clear with a small white head. Touch creamy in the mouth, the hops show but they are rather too shy for my liking. Middling bitterness, nice malts, its good but it isn’t better than the original in my opinion. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3

Draught Clear metallic-gold beer with dense & fine white head and textbook lace. Slightly toasted malts, dullish, and some EU hops. Sharp, toasted, bit alcoholic flavour - as to hopping? Drier than Hommelbier, not hoppier or hardly more bitter. Bit sharp, medium bodied at best, but alcohol present. Disappointing; dry-hopping ought to mean outspoken hops. This?

4/II/2012 on tap @ Brugs Bierfestival - BB: n/a (2012-84) Thanks to Klaas for sharing his beer!

Clear orange beer, nice white creamy head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: dentist product, bit sweet sugary, some fruit notes, overripe banana, alcohol. MF: low carbon, light to medium body. Taste: bitter start, bit metallic, dentist product, unpleasant bitterness. Aftertaste: soapy. Pretty bad.

Draught at Good Beer Faucets in Shibuya. Aroma is a slight grassy hop on top of honey and malt. prickly, peppery flavor with grass and some citrus. Sweet malts and honey are well balanced by the hops. Tasty, though not a huge step beyond the regular version.
