Although pale ales are on the verge of extinction in the UK, they abound in Belgium, and there are some brewed in Holland as well. However, it isn't easy to say definitively that a particular beer is a "pale ale", because the boundary between styles overlap somewhat.
Belgian pale ales differ from British ones in that they are dominated by roasted and caramelised overtones, and use Saaz or other Continental hop varieties, which tend to be less bitter than English hops. There are a wide range of tastes in these ales, but at around 5 to 6.5% are not as strong as you would think.
The term Speciaal or Speciale are often associated with these beers when they are not served on draught. Perhaps the most famous Belgian pale ales are Duvel ("Devil"), a golden, top-fermented pale ale brewed by Moortgat in Breedonk and widely imitated (the three-stage fermentation produces a beer of up to 8.5%) and De Koninck ("the king"), a 5% copper-coloured ale from Antwerp. Others which you might like to try are Straffe Hendrik, De Smedt Op Ale, Ter Dolen Blond and Bink, and Leroy Yperman.
Dutch pale ales are well rounded, well behaved and polished. These beers tend to be clean and around 5 to 5.5%. Two good examples of this style are Bavaria Moreeke and Drie Ringen Amersfoort Blond.
Although (ironically) Scotch Ale disappeared from Scotland by the 1950s, it continues to be brewed in Belgium. The exception to this used to be Gordon's Scotch, which was imported from Edinburgh, even though it is actually unavailable in Scotland. But according to a label I read on a bottle recently, it is now brewed by John Martin of Belgian brewing fame (i.e. John Martin Guinness). Another good example of this style is Silly Scotch.
