COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This brew was a joint effort between the Broad Ripple brew pub and Mark Fisher. It was first displayed at the Indiana State Fair 2005 and won the Brewers Cup Best in Show award. It is now available on tap at the brewery in Indianapolis, Indiana. This medium bodied amber ale offers a nice balance between caramel malt sweetness and a light taste of roasted grain. It is best described as a session beer with a clean malty start that fades to a warm dry finish. The beers name comes from the creator Mark Fisher's daughter Michele whom he calls his firecracker because her birthday is the FOurth of July!
