The only thing I can see is that, even though I've hit IBUs for the style, Northern Brewer hops may still be the way to go. 1 oz at 60 mins of northern brewer pellets would fit in well instead of the willamette. I shouldn't have any problems with head retention due to the carahell. Color is spot on. I'll keep primary at or around 60*F, no diacetyl rest because, well, that's where a diacetyl rest would happen.
Now I need something to make it special. Some adjunct, additive, special ingredient. I have no ideas. This appears to be a very simple CA lager, let's make it something cool (forget about commenting on that pun).
