What did I just brew?

Went to LHBS store yesterday with my father in law and just grabbed some random grains. When I got home I plugged the grains into beersmith and here is what i brewed....I had the cascade and goldings in my freezer and I pitched this onto an s-04 yeast cake. It was fermenting in under an hour. Crazy. I think the style it fits is American Ale, but I think I am going to call it Honey Nut Golden Ale or something like that? I am hoping the honey malt and the aromatic malt create a nice contrast and meld well with the noble hop finish.

Now for my favorite part! The estimated OG was 1.056 I got 1.0625! I am dialing my system in!

I could be wrong, but it looks sorta like an ESB to me. Either way it looks tasty.
