Gotta ask what I'll refer to as a SQOD...

I'm intending on brewing my 4th batch of brew today. The first attempt flopped due to lack of cranial intervention. The 2nd & 3rd are delicious. Now I'm gonna ask my SQOD (stupid question of the day). I'm looking for Alexanders Pale Malt Extract for a recipe I found online for a Winter Cream Ale. Hypothetically speaking, Alexander's is not immediately available... can I substitute another Pale malt extract or are there qualties to this particular brand that lends to lactic acid or something?

Ingredients:
•8 pounds, Alexanders pale malt extract
•1/4 pound, Crystal 40L (light)
•1/4 pound, Crystal 80L (medium)
•1/2 ounce, Chinook (12%), 60 min. boil
•1 ounce, Cascade (5.5%), 30 min. boil
•1 to 1--1/2 ounce, Cascade - Dry-hopped
•Wyeast #1056 American Ale Yeast
•3/4 cup, corn sugar to prime

yea each brand has its own proprietary blend of grains used in making its extract. but really pale is pale doesn't strictly matter. you will get beer in the end.
