Ale or Lager ?

I was going to make a 10 gallons of lager but only had one lager yeast.  I am not sure this recipe would fit lager style anyway, probably too hoppy.

     carapils                 8 oz
     caramel pils          8 oz
     munich malt         8 oz

Hops:
     Summit     14.4%     2.5 oz 60 min
     Saaz            6.4%     2.4 oz  5 min
     Pearle          9.0%     1 oz 5 min

     secondary:
          saaz                  1 oz  (lager)
          simcoe             1 oz  (ale)
