Hit 153 when I mashed in (was aiming for 152).  Mashed for about 65 minutes.  When I gave it a stir before sparging it read 151. A 2 degree per hour loss seems pretty typical for my system. 
I have a Denny-style cooler and braid set-up.

It's carbed up and drinking really nicely. Very light and refreshing for the hot weather we are having.  The Summer hops are definitely subtle; not a lot of hop character coming through.  I'm not picking up much of the melon notes from the written description.  i would describe it as more of a delicate white wine grape character.  I'm enjoying it, but I probably won't use the Summer hops in a single-hopped beer again in the future.
