Will keeping an IPA in the fridge decrease aroma and flavor loss?

I guess the topic really says it all. I know that IPAs will lose aroma and flavor over time, and I was just wondering if keeping them in the refrigerator will preserve them.

I've been curious about this as well. My hunch is that by slowing chemical reactions, it does preserve them longer, but it's just a hunch.

Yup, this is the idea. Cold storage is the best for flavor preservation of all kinds.
