I just got a slight green olive aroma from a Grand Teton Double Vision dopplebock. Did not interfere with my enjoyment.

This goes along with my theory, that it might be the beginnings of a Lactobacillus or other bacterial infection. Even perhaps a tad vinegary. Not 100% unpleasant, but "off" nonetheless.
