Irish Blonde a bit strong

[Hamner Brewhouse]

My OG came out at 1.070. Expected was 1.055. FG 1.010. Almost 8% ABV. I plan to bottle this batch, so I have 2 ideas. 1) let it ride at the higher ABV. 2) dilute with gallon of water which should get me to about 6% or so if my math is correct. Any thoughts on the choices?

I would not risk adding water at this point. You could introduce something the yeast doesn't play well with or just have watery beer

My brew on Monday went the opposite direction, so thanks for helping to balance the equation.
