4 weeks seems a bit arbitrary, but I have noticed some NEIPAs definitely start dropping off the really bright notes somewhere around that age range. Who knows, might also be confirmation bias. I have really seen the drop in these new "hop kief" beers. Insanely good when a week or two old and then they start showing their age.
I see you are in Phoenix, do you see North Park (San Diego) regularly? I was super impressed with their offerings.
