It will be fine

i just opened 24 cans of strongbow that were also out of date,they smelt ok and tasted ok,maybe a little flat but i poured these away as i don't care for them but the lagers i would save and drink if ok-ie would not make me ill(and i would only have a couple in any one day)
also we found some hot sauce dated for bb 2001 in the cupboard-we have moved house 3 times since then and seem to have moved the sauce with us!!

it will only make you ill if you drink it all at once - the same as if you bought 'in date' from the shop an drank too much it might not taste as good as fresh stuff but who cares - if it tastes ok to you then it will be

April 2006 dated Mustard in my fridge is still OK - Drink the beer - what is the worst that could happen....

If it's flat mix it with some lemonade
Plus if it does make you ill you'll be glad you drunk half as much!

will be fine, 6 months on a can isnt the same as 6 month old eggs.

I have a jar of mayo in the fridge that says eat within 6 weeks, ive had it more than a year and it still tastes fine.

I'm not adverse to consuming stuff after it's sell-by, but I draw the line at beer! I had a bad experience with a tin of '8 months out' Stella! It tasted ok (you could tell it was definitely 'off' though), but it came right though me a short time later!
