I'm thinking this will turn out like a Blonde Ale. What do you guys think???
 
looks like a real good session brew!

i would not mind having 10 gallons of that lying around!
 
That's going to make some fine beer.
I'd consider using the fuggles as your kettle addition, with some EKG, and then splitting the EKG & cascade between middle and late additions.
