How does this recipe look?

I used Brew Pal to come up with it, but I just want to check it out before brewing it.

House Blonde Ale

Grain Bill

6lb. Liquid Malt - Light
1lb. CaraPils
.05lb. Corn Sugar

Hop Schedule

1.5oz. Willamette Hops (5%) @ 60min
.50oz Willamette Hops (5%) @40min
.25oz Cascade Hops (6.9%) @0min

Yeast

White Labs WLP001 California Ale

OG = 1.050
FG = 1.012

ABV = 5.0%

Does this look right?

Thanks.
 
Looks very nice. I might consider moving the second hop addition to 20 minutes rather than 40, to accentuate the hop flavor rather than bitterness.
 
Ya I agree with the 2nd poster....Blonde's should focus on the malt. So without seeing the exact projected IBU..I would say this is over hopped a little. I would probably try like .50 oz of Willamate at 60 min / .50 at 20 / .50 at flameout. But I haven't run these threw a brew calculator. Just my guess.
