My NEIPA was awesome for like 3 weeks and then it hit the wall with no signs of oxidation.

well i think this is typical. I can see a nocticable flavor reduction in my from 2-4 weeks plus. I believe this is a reason that the NEIPA style will never be a major beer in macro breweries because of its shelf life. I see it in my NEIPAs where they are in prime flavor about 1-2 weeks after kegging and will last for about 2 weeks and then is degrades. still drinkable, just not fresh and robust. Another observation is tasting a nice pint of Ghost at the tap room, is very nice, yet you buy a 4 pack thats a couple weeks old and it is less than mediocre.

I will say i have never really had an oxidation issue with my neipas.
