    Too much a newbie to draft my own list, but quite sure your #3 and #9 will be included when I consume enough hops to know better.

    Grimm Afterimage

    Grimm Cloudbusting
    Grimm Lambo Door
    Other Half All Green Everything
    Other Half Green Diamonds
    Threes Superf*ckingyawn
    Hill Farmstead Abner

    If I added two more beers, the only purpose they would serve is to fulfill the requirements of making a "top 10" list. These are the only Imperial IPAs that matter to me. The other ones I've had don't hold a candle.
