Batch 140 Nut brown tasting notes

Cold

Pours super tall head (uneven batch, some have way less carb) billowy white, translucent brown, orange highlights, hazy

Aroma dishsoap, earthy, sweet malt, mild curry spice

Mouthfeel toothy, moderate to heavy body, cleans up quickly and doesn't really coat.

Flavor sweet syrup, malt bitterness, over-ripe apple, hop bitters at the way back

Finishes clean, leaves with hop bitterness, not clingy or cloying.

Overall could probably use lower pH, is my cara 120 getting old?  And where is the dishrag from - homegrown Willamettes? Perhaps w1469 is not the yeast for this - US-05 would likely do better here.  Could lower IBUs by a chunk.
