"Definitely Dopplegänger [sic] Dreams"
Sold in 4 packs of 12 fl oz cans. Canned 05/18/20. Hit New Orleans, LA today (07/17/20). Parleaux/SoPro collaboration.
"Lager." 7.5% ABV.
Not as toasty or bready as a doppelbock ought to be (if it is indeed intended to be a doppelbock as implied by the incorrect spelling of Doppelgänger and the fact it's a lager), but nevertheless quite pleasant. Certainly more drinkable than many a doppelbock I've had, lacking the high residual sugars and drinking more like a beefed-up Maibock. Faint toasted malt mingles to good effect with 2 row/pale malt and a hint of neutral Noble hop flavour.
A biteen herbal hopwise but not citrusy, grapefruity, pithy, oily, resinous, or otherwise overhopped. Imagine that...American breweries collaborating on a German style lager without overhopping it!
Drinks quite easily given its highish ABV. Not a top tier doppelbock compared to traditional German expressions of the style, but remarkably approachable and obviously made with care. This is the kind of quality German style lager I'd expect from something like New Glarus, Great Lakes, or Bierstadt Lagerhaus...bravo, Parleaux/SoPro!
Now just adjust the price to compete with German imports and sell in sixers instead of 4 packs...

Definitely Doppelgänger Dreams was a SoPro Taproom-only release in June 2020, and only in 6-pks. of 12-oz. cans, with none on draft, as all of this release was canned due to COVID-19.
Had poured from 12-oz. can, bottom stamped (apparently) canned on "05/18/20," into tulip.
A beautiful deep amber beer of crystal clarity, topped by a contrasting very light tan head, with an aroma of noble hop spices, fruit and lightly toasted malt. A rather light-bodied beer to so deftly hide its 7.90 ABV, it drinks much the same, like (southern) Sweet Tea with a tannin-like mildly bitter finish.
