Pale Ale with leftovers

[boyurboy]

I am posting this recipe for comment. It is an american pale ale (or at least that is the style it most closely resembles) made from leftover grains from previous brews and hops available on short notice. Will it work ok, or not? That is the question I hope you all can answer. I am doing FWH and later hop additions for all of the bittering and flavor. I would be very interested in getting the wisdom of the group on this one. Thanks in advance!

If anything, it's an English pale ale... but it looks good nonetheless. Sterling is called a "spicy, strong" Saaz, and Willamette is a cultivar of Fuggle.

Thanks for the reply. I looked at maybe making it an English Pale, but the color is a bit light so I called it American. I am probably just picking nits, eh?

I'd base off the hops before I based off the color. So it's an xtra-pale.
