Up to 4.20? Is that % abv? If the gravity reading is dropping and it is generating acid, then you might not be getting as much abv since some of it is being turned into acid instead of alcohol.
Also, keep in mind that if you don't have carbonation in the beer, it will taste thin and kinda crappy. A little bit of that will go a long way to filling out the mouthfeel of the beer.
