It’s a different beer than the Prestica as far as I know. That is also what I was told at the brewery when I bought them both. SLightly hazy yellow color. Smell and taste are kind of IPA-like; hops and bitterness. The carbonation is very good for a beer of only 5% ABV. This beer is totally different from most other beers from Kasparus. It has a completely different smell then most of their beers. This one is worth trying.

(Bottled, "top-fermented, special and spicy brew") As there’s no alias for this, I added it to prevent future confusion. Please make this an alias, if it really is identical to Prestica (which I’ve never had). Hazy golden with a smallish, lasting and lacy head. Quite original aroma of spices and toffeeish malt. Slightly ashy, spicy-herby flavor with a dry, ashy finish. Medium body, soft carbonation. Exotic, but not extremely pleasant. (Bottled 01/2003, sampled Jul 29, 2005 @Delirium Cafe, Brussels, labeled "Prestice", type: Luxe pils, was 8-4-7-4-14=3.6) Opaque orange with a small, lasting head. Softly toffee-malty, very pleasant aroma. Toffee-malty, somewhat bitter cardamom flavor with some cardboard. Medium-bodied palate with balanced carbonation. A quite nice one for the ABV. Delirium Cafe had both Prestice and Prestica listed, so I guess they are different products.
