Does anyone know any "tricks" to making the hops last in a very hoppy beer?I love IIPAs and when I make them they are spectacular for about 3 weeks.Then it's just not the same afterwards.I know most beers get better with age,but these just don't seem to follow that rule.So any ideas?preferably tested/proven methods?
hop flavor/aroma retention?

'Tis the way of IPA... The flavor sweet spot only last for about 3-5 weeks on many highly hopped beers. They are better fresh. Keep the beer cold is about all I can suggest.

Maybe O2 absorbing caps???? I'm sure this has been tried before and does not work because I know it's a common problem. Just shooting from the hip.
I support the idea of keeping them cold but I too cannot do this.
