Now, I wouldn't call it exactly a 100% authentic Lager. As it was brewed from pale rather than lager malt. They did, however, use Carlsberg yeast. Meaning it was properly bottom-fermented.
There was also authenticity in the mashing scheme, which was a double decoction. In which there were two boils of half the mash. This was a simplification of their mashing scheme from a few years earlier, where there were three boils, each of a third of the mash.
Here are the full details of the process.
