    Fragment of the key:
    16. Spikelets large, mostly more than 15 mm long; lemmas often awned from a bifid apex, or nearly awnless. Bromus
    16' Spikelets small, mostly less than 10 mm long; lemmas awnless. Poa

    Based on it, this looks like Poa sp, but may be (most probably) some other genus. Most of Bromus species have awns, and most of Poa species have more compact and erect panicles.
