Looks tasty to me. You've got a clean foundation with 2-row, a touch of maltiness from the Vienna, and some lightly balancing body from the carapils & crystal 10. I'd expect the malt to be supportive and interesting, but not so interesting that it gets in the way of the Calypso.

You've got a good recipe, so make sure you follow through with a great fermentation. Rehydrate your yeast, aerate or oxygenate your wort, and keep your temps steady in the mid to upper 60's and you should have an awesome beer.
