It's also an off flavor that tasters train for in beer, from water inclusion. It's not good for beer but I don't mind the smell at all

Very beet-flavored to me

Funny you should call it beet-flavor. Geosmin is literally the reason why beets have that flavor :)

Yup! I know, I was an expert taster at a large brewery :)

It was fun! And a little bit ruined some beer for me.

I'm an enthusiastic amateur taster with a terrible palette and I bet it would ruin it for me, too.
