okay so was origionally gonna make a pale ale with this recipe
1.7L Blue Mountain Lager (IBU 18-21)
1.5L Liquid Malt Extract
300grams Crystal Malt 60l
20grams Saaz @15 minutes
20grams Styrian Goldings @15 minutes
IBU 25-28

US-56

although after making my lambic in a rush i used half my crystal malt instead of caramunich III and cara aroma

so now my question is how would my pale ale taste with only 150g crystal malt 60L, 100grams of caramunich III, and 100g of cara aroma

what flavour impacts will this have? any suggestions on use of these ingrediants, i have belgian yeasts also

You could probably throw in 500g - 1kg of white sugar and a belgian yeast and make a golden strong ale.

hmmn yer was thinking of this only problem is i just made two batches of strong golden ale and this was supposed to be a brew my mates would enjoy just a standard beer

there is the advantage of pitching straight onto the yeats cake though

It will be maltier, with more pronounced caramel and toffee notes. It will also be a fair bit darker, probably a nice copper colour.

ummm, not really. Can't think what your recipe as a whole would taste like, it's a bit of an eclectic mix, and doesn't seem like my bag. Certainly wouldn't taste like any of the british beers you've mentioned, though...
Probably more like an American Amber Ale, of which I've not tried any commercial examples anyway.
