Then don't order one at a bar!

Seriously, Two Hearted IPA is on the lower end of the bitter scale, and is sweeter than almost all other IPAs (though, most of Larry's beers are on the sweet side, IMO). Pick up a Bell's Hopslam, Stone Ruination or a Dogfish Head 90 Minute if you want to taste the difference between a sweet, malty Two Hearted and an IPA that is actually made with bitterness in mind.

Considering the example beers that you like, I'd recommend trying a Bell's Best Brown Ale (it's just come into season right now) and New Glarus' Fat Squirrel. I wish I knew more about MN micro-brews, because there has to be some local flavors you'd like.

So it goes.
