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

    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.

  You train to taste beer?

    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: dev.bjcp.org/…/beer-judge-training-study-program/

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