9% is enough to keep a beer for a long while in proper conditions. After 6 months, don't expect much, if anything from the Sterling hops. Has it been in the fridge?

 

Only one way to find out right? Either it holds up or it doesn't. Hopefully it's still tasty.

 

Crack that bad boy open and see what you get!!!

 

If it's a good beer it will still be good. Six months isn't long at all. The beer is still young.

 

Six months of age at room temp. can definitely effect a beer dramatically, for better or worse (mostly worse in my opinion)

 

It will taste just like what it is, a malt liquor.

 

I disagree. There may be differences, but in my experience they will be minor. Six months is no time at all. A bad beer might get worse, but a good one should still be good, especially at room temperature. Of course, the beer should have a best before date, but this is usually a year. I've noticed big differences over several years in beers, but a few months is nothing. I would avoid beer that gets 'dramatically' worse in months. I am aware of the current obsession here with 'freshness', but my view is that much of it is lunacy.

 

Mm drink it!

 

I bought a bottle once, it was flat as Hell and did not taste good. $15 down the drain.

 

Agree to disagree..
