which puree for a *fruit* pale ale on brett?

deepsouth:
greets all!

i am brewing a *fruit* pale ale on brett.  i was originally going to go with peach, but i'm not sure it would come through.  i was then thinking apricot and after that thought about raspberry, and now i'm just conflicted.  hahaha.

it's going to be an extract brew with citra, amarillo, and simcoe for the hops.  i was going to primary with us-05 and then add the puree and the brett brux in secondary.  i'm not sure if this would be considered "proper" procedure and i'm not sure how much puree to use.

which fruit puree  and how much would you use?  when would you add it?

thanks in advance.

I can't really comment on procedure or quantity, but if it were me I'd use the apricot and then dry-hop with Citra and Amarillo in the keg or a week before bottling.

majorvices:
Brett b with a blend of sweet and sour cherries is another option to consider. I did this few years back and the Brett "cherry pie" character matched up well with the cherries.

bluesman:
Have you considered a 100% Brett beer.  There's a really good article in the recent Zymurgy about 100% Brett beers.  Works really well with fruit. 

hoser:
Mango with those hops and Brett Brux.
