I have brewed a few PM hoppy pale ales in a row now (snpa clones, etc.), and when tasting them at the 2 week point of bottle conditioning, they are amazing. The hop flavour and aroma just blows me away. They are as close to a perfect beer as I can imagine brewing.
The problem is that at week 3 or 4, the hop flavor diminishes and I find it hard to enjoy the beer because it was so much better a week before.
I am brewing tomorrow and am looking for some advice to retain the hop flavour longer. Is it simply a matter of employing more flavor hops? I don't mind over hopping a beer (flavor not bittering) if it means that it will taste good when I am drinking it. I typically have one beer at the two week point, and the rest between week 3 and 6.
Thanks for any advice.
