I wouldn’t foresee any issues with the freshness of the entries. We have some very knowledgeable brewers in our group and an IPA can easily maintain its hop presence for 3-4 months with some care taken to limit oxygen exposure.

As always the beers will be judged, scored and ranked to the best of our abilities according to style guidelines. We wouldn’t be judging entries if we thought there were a bunch of old skunked cardboard tasting beers.

I don't know when others brewed theirs, but mine was brewed the 1st week of March. It's now the 1st week of June - 3 months later. Just sayin'!

You should be fine then, 3 months from brew day is easily within the peak freshness range.

Mine was bottled second week of March and tasted fine 2 weeks ago. As long as it's not oxidized, it wil be fine
