What did i just brew with my fresh hop harvest?

[kenb]

Ok, i harvested my Centennial hops today and was going for a Fresh Hop Harvest pale Ale with an OG of 1.56. Instead it was 1.36 and will have an estimated abv of only 3.7%! I messed up because i have been doing all grains brews for so long, i forgot how to extract brew i guess, and ended up adding a 1/2 gallon too much water after my boil.

Is this gonna taste like crap now? Or like a sessionable english bitter?
Or like water with some hop flavor?
Damn, this is lame. Anyways here is the recipe..what do you think i will end up with? And is there anything i can do between now and bottling?

I bet it'll taste fine. Certainly not like an English pale, with all those American hops, but it should be fine. Nothing wrong with a 3.7% ale.

ok thanks. I've just never brewed anything that low before. Will keep fingers crossed.
