You can watch their reaction upon the first taste and just read their minds. Their first thought is, "This tastes like ass to me but I need to say something good," and the second thought they have is, "What's my obligation to finish this sample?"
I was forced into bringing samples (I tried hard to dodge this request) to a small private wine tasting last night (don't #%@!ing ask) and the guys who tried my beer (an English Brown, an IPA, and a Stout) clearly found it disgusting. (Upon pouring the first one, the English Brown, one remarked, "Oh, a Dark Beer." As if "Dark Beer" is a style.) The men all offered strained positive comments which I knew were insincere, and I glared at SWMBO for forcing me to do this. In the end I was kind enough though to wander away long enough for them to pour their samples into the dump bucket.
I do have great respect for one guy's wife who upon taking a sip of the stout, actually winced and said, "Holy #$%^ that's awful!" and pushed it away in disgust. Plus she was hot.
