Looks like everythings going south on this beer. You said it smelled sour and a lager at ale temps is not a good idea unless its a Cali common. The color looks more like a Marzen than anyother beer. From the sour smell its lactobacillis in the beer. I bet there is some green apple smell in it to...

as long as you can drink it drink it. Is it a gusher till the bottles almost empty? Old beers especially ales do this with time. If you expect a beer to be around a year or so under carbonate it and make sure the gravity high enough to produce enough alcohol to kill the little bugs.
