Third Base Brewing, 9 beers on tap

Bees Knees Honey ale, honey ale seems like they put honey in the ale after Brewing. 
Red Rocket Amber, darker version of a pale ale.
Flying Aces Pale ale, tad more bitter, similar to an IPA, no citrus flavor, orange peel versus orange in the taste.  
Black Cobra Oatmeal Stout, was stout, nothing to shout about, have had better.  Okay, not outstanding. 
Bear Down Brown, brown ale, similar to oatmeal stout. 

All beers okay but not outstanding.

Old Boys Brewhouse, Silver Lake, MI

Old Boys Brown, 5.5%, 25 ibu, combo of caramel, victory and chocolate malts, to give it a toasted, nutty flavor, brown ale,

Kennel King, Imperial ipa, hops, hops, and more hops, Michigan grown cascade and chinook hops along with warrior, jarrylo, and columbus added during the kettle boil, and even more are dry hopped,hops are a little overpowering, maybe too much.,  9.2%, 100 ibu.  the 100 ibu does not give a bitter taste to the beer.   

Dogtail, exclusive Michigan grown hops for this IPA, 6.4%, 60 ibus, no citrus nose, no citrus taste, it needs some citrus to be an IPA for me.   

Leviathan Stout, 8.8%, 4 hour long boil, has kettle caramelization, hints of coffee, rasisins, toffee, choco, with a dose of english and us hops for some bittterness.
