Clone Of simple pale - 2 gal Brew Session

mash in thinner brew kettle, needed to raise temperature every 5 to 10 minutes. Saved a bit of time by heating sparge water in thicker kettle to 180 then transfering to Thermos cooler for sparge. about 1 oz fresh hops (Cascade / Centennial) at 40mins about 1 oz fresh hops (Cascade / Centennial ) at 20min wanted to add another oz at 180 on cool but went for 212 to 170 too quickly. About 2.7 gal to fermenter at 1.052 OG 10/12 - to secondary because driving to Sacramento and might not be back soon enough. Light, citrus blond taste, maybe slightly belgian-ish 1.015 gravity about 2.5 gallons to secondary. 10/18 - bag of frozen hops from our garden - 0.75 oz maybe? ?10/25 - replace bag hops -0.75 oz maybe? 11/2 - replace hops - 0.75 oz maybe? 11/9 - bottle - still 1.014 gravity, fruity, belgian-ish aroma, - a little bit of white growth at surface - a little worried about whether I'l like this ;-) 14 22oz bottles cider-ish flavor and aroma - not very satisfying, gravity never declined after secondary wondering if not enough yeast from primary, and/or infection - but even with infection the gravity didn't decline - I read that cidery flavor is incomplete fermentation - acetaldehyde?
