I tried it in what I called a biere de gard (which it probably wasn't) but turned out the right colour. I used 1 kg Heidelberg (kolsch) 500 g red x and 50 g roasted barley in a 4.5 l batch. Came out a lovely colour and very tasty.
Never heard of Best red X. HBC site says..
Perfectly suited for amber beer, wheat beer, Alt, ale and dark beer.
*
Usage Rate
*
Up to 100 % of the grain bill (100 % recommended for red-tinted beers).
So it's a base malt that's been malted to produce a red colour. I would try a pale recipe, maybe just the red X plus hops, and make a 5 litre batch to try it out. Or a red ale, brown ale or porter. USE red X in place of some or all of the Maris Otter. See what difference it makes.

If you want a nice red ale without adding other different grains this is the one to use ends up a lovely ruby red colour :thumb:

From the same website, I thought you guys might be interested in this product. http://nationalhomebrew.com.au/beer/grains-and-malts/gladfield-malt-red-back-malt
Using similar language to that used to promote the Red X malt but it's not clear whether it can be used as a base malt. The Red X is cheaper though, so...
