dry hopping

Cold lupulin infusion

Dry hopping is a brewing technique where hops are added to beer after fermentation rather than during the boil.

This extracts aromatic compounds without adding bitterness, producing intense hoppy flavors and aromas.

The method is especially associated with IPAs and other hop-forward craft beers: This pale ale was dry hopped with Citra and Mosaic.
