    July is pretty old. It would be disappointing compared to a fresh bottle. IPA freshness also depends on if it is kept cold or not so factor that in as well. (You'll notice that sip of sunshine and many other IPA cans say to keep them cold)

    It looks like you are in IL. If you have access to pipeworks IPAs, it would be easy to trade a 4 pack of ninja v unicorn or lizard king for a fresh 4 pack of double jack, though you would need to ship.

    6 weeks is my limit, hoppy beers need to be as fresh as possible. if a brewery cant get it to me within a six week period i"ll drink something else. a lot of time the blame falls on the distribution, not the people making the beer

    I would wait for a fresher bottle.
