Safale US05 fruity esters?

So i got me about 30 gallons mash of rye bubbling away right now. But when I mashed I pitched about 1 and 1/2 oz of Safale US05 in a little bit of a mash that was 80°. About 5 hours later it was up in bubble in like crazy and I pitched it in to my Mash early because I had to leave. I think the main Mash was about 85 degrees when I pitched it.

Well now it's a couple days later and it's bubbling away at 74 degrees but I'm getting a whole lot of fruity esters. I normally don't get this smell with this type of yeast. Anybody know anything about this or if it will carry over into the Rye? If so you think it'll taste good? It might be interesting.
