Rahr Pils vs. Rahr Pale Ale Empty

After doing a brief product search, they've both got the same 1.8 lovibond rating. On the other hand, the pilsner malt has a lower diastatic rating of 150 versus the pale's rating of 161, so you'd need slightly more pilsner malt to get the same OG. However, the difference would be very, very small. Beyond that, you'll probably only taste a difference in lighter beers, whereas in ambers and stouts where specialty malts make a majority of the flavor, you won't notice much at all. The big thing between the two, as you may know, is to do a 90 minute boil with the pilsner malt to boil off the excess DMS it carries. Other than that, it's no big sweat.

Pale malts generally have a cleaner profile, while pilsner is bready.

So pretty much the opposite of what you read.

Rahr Pils vs. Rahr Pale Ale Empty

I usually use Rahr Pale Ale or Rahr Pale for my ales and have been very happy with the results. Last weekend a relative brought back my order from the cities and I noticed that Northern Brewer had sent a sack of Rahr Premium Pilsner by mistake. My question to all is, will I notice any difference between the Pils and ale grain? I have googled the hell out of it, and others say that the pills will taste grainy, and the ale will have a bready character. Does anybody have any hands on experience ?
