Extend shelf life by preserving fresh flavor for longer. Stable terpene formulations help maintain aroma and reduce flavor deterioration during storage.
Are you losing your hop aroma after just six months in storage?
Keep that fresh, hoppy taste for longer
Explore the critical new findings from UC Davis and Evodia detailing how terpene stability dictates hoppy beer shelf-life.
After six months of refrigerated storage, the flavor solution produced through precision fermentation showed 1.75–3.7 times greater terpene retention than traditional dry hopping.

What terpene stability can tell us about hoppy beer shelf-life
Flavor is everything, but keeping it consistent at scale isn’t easy. Throughout distribution, terpene retention determines how much fresh hop character remains by the time the beer reaches the consumer. This white paper explores how different flavor-building strategies perform during storage and shares practical insights for brewing beers with longer-lasting hop aroma.

Not all terpene classes age the same way
Terpene hydrocarbons showed poor retention across most treatments, while oxygenated terpenes were generally more persistent.

Forced aging should be interpreted with care
For hoppy beer styles, especially those relying on delicate aroma chemistry, real-time aging remains an important benchmark.

Hop aroma isn't static in both alcoholic and NA beer
The UC Davis aging trials showed clear differences in terpene transfer and retention between traditional dry hopping and Yops® dosing across alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer matrices.
