Hmmm. Thought the Red related to brewery not colour.
What we have in the glass is a malt hit on a tripel recipe. So it pours a bad looking flat brown/red, and smells of mainly malt with a hint of Belgian sweetness. Taste is a mishmash of malts, treadles, and some sweetness that doesn't balance. There is also a nasty astringent aftertaste.
Overall, not an easy drink.... Personally prefer standard tripels but there you go....

330ml bottle poured into a goblet

L - a sangria-like red, with a thin pale brown lacing

S - suprisingly neutral smell, the faintest hint of roasted malt and candi sugar.

T - toasted malts, clove and dark fruits upfront, bulge of treacle, cherries and plums in the middle before tapering out to a sweet yet abrupt finish

F - low carbonation (typical for a tripel however), light bodied, hint of rum like booziness with suprisingly crisp finish.

O - interesting take on a tripel, definitely not as sweet. Which made it more enjoyable in my opinion.
