How long does hop character last once bottled?

Afternoon chaps, as title please.
I have heard about 5-7 weeks is this correct?

Cheers

Seems about right.

If you store them cold, it slows the process down.

OK cheers mate, didnt realise that, what with homebrew normally getting better after months.
Never mind, I'll have no problem drinking it faster

Cheers

yeah its a bit of a balancing act, u can add maturation without losing the dry hops flavour by leaving for 3wks primary then giveing two weeks secondary (doing the dry hop here) but tbh if its less than 6% just drink it fast and its hard to tell the difference
