I've been trying to create an Abita Purple Haze clone for my wife, but have failed pretty miserably on all attempts. I finally got around to reading the label on the Abita bottle last night, and noticed that is actually a lager, made from pilsner and wheat malts, with raspberry puree added after filtration (presumably they dump the raspberry in to the mix right before it gets bottled - I could easily do this since I keg).

Anyway, most of the clones out there are ales. AHS has an ale clone, and most of the "raspberry wheat" beer recipes that I can find use Hefeweizen yeast, or something to that effect (definitely not a lager yeast).

Does anyone have a good fruit / wheat beer recipe that is lagered?
