I like the Cascade/Amarillo flavor combination so this looks good to me. Seems to be a pretty straight forward APA. I am not sure why you are addind the Munich. If you want the more malty flavor I would suggest you add more. If you are looking for the color I would suggest that the L 20 crystal will overpower it.

I added the Munich for a bit of maltiness since there will be a decent amount of hoppiness, and I'm throwing in the Crystal for a bit of color and flavor. I guess having half a pound of both wouldn't be too bad - bumping up the Munich and pulling back the Crystal.

You might also consider Vienna if it is the malty flavor you are looking for. It will give you more of the malty flavors than the Munich.
