Substitute for ESB Pale Malt (Gambrinus)

[joety]

I am brewing a clone of Kona's Longboard Lager and it calls for ESB Pale Malt from Gambrinus. I was not able to source that in time to brew tomorrow.

I have in stock:

Belgian Pilsner
Maris Otter
US 2-Row

Any suggestions?

TIA
Joe

ESB is a higher dextrine malt like mild malt, flavor wise its solid UK type flavor. MO will be very close. Maybe mash just a wee higher to get some dextrines in the final product
