Harvest ale
Harvest ale is not a defined style or class of beer, but rather is marketing term and common name for many different beers.[1] The tagline generally refers to beers being brewed for fall harvests. This most commonly refers to the hop harvest but can also be connected with grain harvest, Oktoberfest, or as a general term for fall seasonal beers.
