Tried on-tap at GABS 2014 in Melbourne.
Pours a golden amber colour, far from red, but with some depth at least. Solid hazing forms through the firm body. Head is a fine off-white. Lace forms in thin sheets. Carbonation rushes through. Looks decent enough.
Nose is pleasant. Peach stone with a biting sour acidity turning slightly vinous after a while. Balancing this is a sweeter, rounded oakiness that helps put everything back into order. Again, pretty decent.
Light, crisp entry on the palate. A little cherry pip and more clean astringency. There's a strange buttery sweetness through the centre—it could be the oak, as this turns slightly woody and a little astringent on the back. Finish has more sweet oak characters, and a little brettiness. Heavy aftertaste.
Feel is light but chewy.
The oak is a little heavy-handed, but there are some nice elements to it. It called itself a Flanders Red, and I'm not sure it's quite successful on that front, but it's a decent beer taken on its own terms.

Brewed for and tried at GABS festival in Melbourne, May 2014.
Pours a decent amber colour, a bit more on the golden side than it should be for the style. Very cloudy, with nice medium beige head, good bit of foam. Looks pleasant.
Smells like a good Flanders Red should. Touch of chardonnay upfront with oak and Syrah notes. Touch of spice as well. Rich and gorgeous.
Taste is similar, maybe a touch sweeter to its detriment. Chardonnay-style oak upfront, a touch buttery before descending into nice darker territory, with more Syrah and notes of oak tannins. Very rich, and quite pleasant, but would like a touch more acidity.
Decent body, fills out the mouth quite nicely.
Not hugely sour, but lots of interesting characters. Worth a try if you get the chance.
