Ankleknocker Gluten Free Pale Ale by Zelus Beer Company was judged as BJCP Category 31A, Alternative Grain Beer.

The aroma is dominated by a grapefruit-type hoppiness. Low ester levels are also present and are generically fruity. The grapefruit character is both fleshy and pithy. This beer is turbid and has a pale peach color. Its open, sudsy head fades quickly. The flavor is also quite hoppy with dominant grapefruit pith character. It is very bitter with an herbal, earthy character. The bitterness lingers well after the finish. It is medium in both body and carbonation level. It would benefit from higher carbonation. Overall, this alternative grain beer could fool many a drinker into thinking it was a standard all-malt, gluten-filled pale ale. However, the hop choice and aggressive bitterness make this one miss the mark.
