Cascade hops? I did not get the citrus flavor but biiter was strong. Way out of balance

Review from notes from my trip to Florida.
#3 of the night. Poured into a pint glass.
3.5 A: Lightly hazed orange. Came with no head, but a decent amount of lacing.
3.0 S: Pretty boring. A light yeastiness. Light floral hoppiness and a touch of crystal. Not much going on.
3.5 T: Taste is much better. Solid neutral maltiness with a touch of crystal. Moderate bitterness with grassy and earthy hop flavor. Not bad here.
3.5 M: Lighter medium body. Good moderate carbonation. Smooth, but could be creamier.
3.5 D: Decent beer. Not worth seeking out, but I'm glad it's here.

Had a pint on tap at the premises at Disney's Boardwalk.
Pours a honey yellow with little head, but with nice lacing down the sides at it is consumed.
Smell is thin, with minor hops evident. Is it being seved too cold?
Taste is similarly thin. Some hops are evident, but overall a rather ordinary ale, with slight malt tastes followed by a tinge of polite bitterness.
Mouthfeel is average, but not offensive.
Fairly drinkable as a session beer, but not one that stands out. Think of it as a beer by Disney, made more for the masses than the beer connoisseur.

Ever so slightly cloudy light gold. Citrus/grapefruit rind and lemon with a touch of sweetness. Good balance, but a bit on the light side. Medium body and carbonation. Good drinkability and refreshing, but needs a bit more oomph, especially in aroma.

A - A medium copper color with an overt orange hue... Slight creamy white heads recedes to a lacing of the same...
S - Mild hints of citrus... Honey... Grains... Not a bad aroma, but a extremely understated...
T - Distinct hints of honey... Mild caramel... Bready malts... Malt forward, but there is an ever so slight piney hop presence...
M - On the light side of medium bodied... Creamy and smooth... Easy drinking...
D - Simple and straightforward... Drinkable, but not overly memorable...

Review written on a coaster so I wouldn't forget... Good to review beers on vacation.
Beer comes cloudy amber/honey tones with a thick off white head that dissipates quickly and leaves quite a bit of residue.
Savory roasted grain and grilled fruits in the nose, slight grassy hop.
Clean sweet caramel and pear notes upfront, slight spice and grassy hop, but very much second fiddle to the big malt character upfront.
Thick, chewy mouthfeel with little to no effervescence .
This is closer to a "bitters" or English style pale ale than the APA I was expecting. It was good, but still quite middle-pack as far as pale ales.
