Your yeast was just a bit more effective than anticipated. (I assume you shooting for 1.012) I'm sure it will be great! posted at the same time....not trying to copy the same answer!

Your beer is likely to come across thin, without body. You need to figure out how to fix that for the next time you brew it. GT
