I'm brewing an APA. It's a pretty average grain bill, with 5% crystal 10.

Problem is, the HBS was out of crystal 10. I ended up buying some Belgian Cara 8, a malt which I've never used, instead.

What differences are there between the two malts? Will it make the malt profile of my beer taste different than your standard APA?
 
It's a crystal malt with 6L color according to NB. So I'd say no, you'll never tell the difference, especially with 5% of it in the recipe and given the hoppiness of an APA.
