I asked my colleague if his was okay, and he said it was delicious. I said it tasted nothing like the Keiths IPA, and that is when I was given a lesson on what an actual IPA is. I do not like them at all. I still enjoy Keiths every once in a while, but I usually buy Kronenbourg, Peroni, Stella or Steamwhistle now.

The problem there is marketing. Your colleague was a jerk too, it sounds like. I'd pretty much never give someone an IPA without telling them what to expect first. It's like giving someone a cigar for the first time forgetting to tell them to not inhale.
Keiths is a lager.
The beers you listed off as others you like are all lagers as well. Maybe not the kronenbourg technically.
In my opinion it should be illegal for Keiths to brand themselves as such.
