Found a full case of nut brown ale I made 3.5 years ago. Cracked on open, smells good, looked clear, very over carbonated. If it tast ok, is it ok to drink? Or just call it a loss. It was stored in a cool dry basement in plastic tubs.
It’ll be fine to drink. Might even be improved after being kept that long, although chances are it’s on the decline. I have a couple homebrew bottles in my basement that are old enough to vote. The RIS was actually not too bad when I tried it last year.
If you pour it in a glass and stir it for a minute or two with a spoon, you’ll knock a lot of the carbonation out of it. Nice simple fix for when a beer is overcarbonated.

DO NOT LISTEN TO PORKCHOP!
That stuff is toxic! Send it to me immediately for disposal! Don’t even touch the sealed bottles with your bare hands!
WOOF!

Looks good but the color looks more like a pale ale.
Color could be affected by the fluorescent bulb a few inches above the glass.
Age only kills some beer. Like the mass market lagers. I wouldn’t be afraid of it
