With the hop extracts etc they use in those macro lagers, you'll struggle to get something the same

Grain Bill

0.400 kg Cane Sugar (8.16%)

Hop Bill
----------------
25.0 g Pride of Ringwood Leaf (8.3% Alpha) @ 60 Minutes (Boil) (1 g/L)

Method:

Single step Infusion at 63°C for 120 Minutes.
Mashout 78°C for 20 mins
Edit: boil for 90 mins adjusting with boiling water if it's getting a bit too concentrated on your equipment. Hops in after 30 mins.
Ferment at 13°C with Wyeast 2042 - Danish Lager for five days then let it slowly rise to 19°C over four days
Lager at -1°C for ten days only.

If you can get isohop then use some of that instead of the POR - the hop flowers actually make it a bit more like a Cascade Brewery lager. If you prefer a dried yeast then use S-23 and just run the whole thing through at 18° then lager.
