I agree with Lorenae. 1.022 is high and from a combination of a low amount (6g) of dry yeast into a high gravity under oxygenated wort that isn't a full boil will give you under attenuated wort in which you used hops more appropriate for a full 5 gallon boil.

In effect your yeast pooped out before it was finished and your bittering level wasn't enough to counteract the sweetness.
