Good, but not amazing Ale

Nice flavor, but it's not long lasting at all. I love a beer that I can still savor after the swallow. This Ale is not long lasting at all. That said, it is still a very good tasting beer and is a perfect match for a hot summer afternoon after mowing the lawn in the the sun. Nice citruice and floral notes, but only moderate levels that are not over powering.
