Budweiser Budvar mini keg out of date - will I die?

I was bought a Budweiser Budvar 5L mini keg for fathers day this year. One of these:

For whatever reason I've not opened or drunk it yet.

Today I decided to put it in the fridge to get cold but noticed a best before label saying July 2017!

Will it be ok or am I about to die?

Ok, I can report back. I lived but it wasn't very nice at all. I'd go as far as to say that it was more Yates' than Wetherspoons.

Firstly it seemed very frothy, when I was dispensing, it was very powerful froth. When it eventually calmed down, the actual beer tasted quite sweet but very flat. It wasn't exactly a disgusting taste but just nothing like the beer should be.

I managed 2 pints but the rest is going in the bin.

I serve my out of date beer when friends come round. None of them have ever died

Don’t worry it’s Budvar, it will taste the same stale or fresh.
