Belgian Munich vs German Munich

[Brewddah]

This weekend, my LHBS accidentally gave me Chateau Belgian Munich light instead of Weyermann Munich light. I decided to just go with it. The recipe was for a pale ale, and the munich comprised 10% of the grist. Will I notice a difference? What are the differences in flavor between the two? I have never used Belgian Munich.

According to the BSG website, Chateau Munich has a nearly identical lovibond as Weyermann's, so I wouldn't expect any significant difference in the beer considering it's only 10% of the bill.

German munich has a bolder maltiness. I made a smash lager with Belgian munich and wished I had gone with German. Belgian munich is much more subtle.

It'll probably get a little lost in a pale ale.
