The only differences between a bitter and an English Pale Ale are the carbonation level and the specific gravity of the wort (at the outset,) and the beer (when the yeast is done doing it's thing.)
It's much easier to make a good pale ale than it is a good bitter because one uses a (slightly) greater quantity of ingredients, and consequently has more margin for error.
American Pale ale, on the other hand, is chock full of hops. (As are most American beers, compared to their English counterparts).
