Hey guys any suggestions on this smash

11 lbs Pale Ale malt

Dough in and single decotion to bring it up to 155 F

.5 Citra 13.9 AA in the mash
.5 Citra FWH

boil for 60 minutes

.5 Citra 11 minutes
.5 Citra 6 minutes

Dry Hop with 1 ounce citral whole leaf in secondary

Im at work and don't have my software but the grains are crushed and ready to go when I get Home. An online calculator has my OG 1.061 but doesn't give what efficiency they are using, Im assuming 75% I am usually right around 78-80

I guess Do you think this will be malty enough Im showing like 52 IBU? or should I throw in some crystal 40L to help balance it out even though it would then not be a smash?
 
if it were me, since you are doing a FWH, i would skip the 11 and 6 min additions and and the entire 1 oz at 0min for a 20min whirlpool steep.

citra is amazing as a dry hop. id even suggest more than 1oz if you have it. if not it will still be great.
