Distelhäuser Kellerbier if you want a cleaner, more delicate cellar beer, Wolfshöher Kellerbier if you want slightly more weight and grip.
Both sit in that sweet spot where kellerbier stays true to its unpasteurized, lightly-conditioned roots—no filtering theater, just honest lager. The 0.4% ABV difference is real enough that you'll feel it, especially on the finish. Same IBU floor means neither one's trying to prove anything with hops.

Distelhäuser Kellerbier
Distelhäuser hits with immediate brightness—there's a yeasty, almost powdery softness that fades into a bone-dry mineral backbone. The carbonation is gentle, almost apologetic, which is exactly what a kellerbier should be doing. You're tasting the malt's actual character here, not a lot of fermentation noise. It's the kind of beer that tastes better the longer you sit with it.
Wolfshöher Kellerbier
Wolfshöher comes in denser and more assertive, with a thicker mouthfeel that clings to your palate just a touch longer. There's a subtle nuttiness underneath, something that suggests slightly longer conditioning or a slightly richer grain bill. The finish is cleaner than the midpalate—very true to kellerbier form—but that extra half-percent ABV gives it a whisper of warmth you won't find in its lighter sibling.
