Probably turn out more like a Vienna lager, I did something similar as a golden ale and decided to use up a pack of Nottingham. To my horror I realised I'd pitched w 34/70 instead and it's turned out a slightly weird crossover but very drinkable.
 
More I think about it, it is as you said, a Vienna. I had a delay starting it, it's starting to come to the boil now. Now I'm thinking of pushing the IBU a few more points and waving some late hal hops over it. Maybe 30IBU and 10g Hal at 20mins? XXXX Bitter Vienna, will give it a go
 
Should work fine, I used a bit of Hersbrucker hop tea to turn it more Germanic.
 
A bit chill hazy that could be the MO .. probably gets indignant having its Pommy knackers frozen off. I seem to remember a few years ago I submitted a recipe for Vienn-ale that goes the other way and uses the Vienna malt to make a faux lager, turned out good as well.

Late hooped with Cluster, worked really well....
 
I ended up with Perle as it was at the font of the hop storage. I'm thinking a straight cluster would had been nice. I need to drink more so I can experiment more often :p
