Fliegering Bayerischer if you want a touch more grip and body,
Greifenklau if you want restraint and drinkability.
Both are true kellerbiers—unpasteurized, unfiltered, meant to be drunk fresh—but Hummel's sits slightly heavier in your mouth. The ABV difference is small (5.2% vs. 4.8%), yet it makes itself known. IBUs are identical at 25, so bitterness won't be your deciding factor here.

Tasting notes
Fliegender Bayerischer Kellerbier
Fliegender Bayerischer has a creamy, almost oily mouthfeel that catches you right away—not from sweetness, but from yeast texture and a whisper of body. The grain comes through cleaner than you'd expect, with a faint bread-crust note and just enough hop presence to keep it from feeling bloated. Finishes dry but not sharp. This is a beer that wants you to slow down and notice it.
Greifenklau Kellerbier
Greifenklau is the more transparent of the two—you taste the malt clearly, the carbonation is snappier, and it practically evaporates off your palate. There's a mineral edge to it, subtle but real, that makes it feel fresher and more delicate. It's the kind of kellerbier you drink without thinking too hard, which is exactly what it's designed for.
