I'm going to agree with the malty recommendations here.

If Killians is more to your liking and something like Bridgeport IPA
(which I would consider fairly typical for IPA) was still a tad bitter,
then I recommend the maltier beers: Rogue's stouts and porters (OK,
Shakespeare is pretty hoppy), brown ale, and dead guy ale.
Look into any dark lagers, this list includes Killians and some that are
like it, including some that are better:
