Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Pyraser Kellerbier if you want restraint and clarity,
Schankbier if you want roundness and grip.
Both are unfiltered lagers from the Bavarian kellerbier tradition, so you're splitting hairs on philosophy rather than style. The ABV difference is negligible, but it matters in how these beers sit on your palate—one leans austere, one leans generous.

Pyraser Kellerbier
Pyraser tastes like someone handed you a glass of barely-there grain and pale malt sweetness, then immediately took most of it back. It's crisp without being sharp, dry without being thin. There's a faint herbal whisper underneath—those 25 IBUs are doing their job quietly. You'll drink this fast because it doesn't demand anything from you.
Schankbier
Schankbier arrives with more presence. It's got a softer mouthfeel, a touch of biscuit and bread crust that lingers just long enough to remind you it's there. The bitterness is the same as Pyraser on paper, but it feels integrated rather than imposed—wrapped into the body rather than sitting on top. This one asks you to pay attention.
