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.

Absolutely, if you're serious about sensory science!

At the large craft brewery I worked in we trained on like.... ~40 attributes? Weekly usually, with taste panel and impromptu trainings most every day.

You can study to become a beer judge, even just for fun: https://dev.bjcp.org/education-training/exam-preparation/beer-judge-training-study-program/

One of the parts of that is to get a kit that helps you recognize "off" flavors: https://www.bjcp.org/education-training/education-resources/sensory-kits/
