German Ale/Kolsch yeast

[Vcreations]

I was given a vile of White Labs Kolsch yeast (WLP029) from my homebrew store in late August because it was getting close to its "best if used by" date they said. I was planning on doing an Altbeir with it but never got to it so I thought i had thrown it out after the date, but i was cleaning out the fridge today and found that bottle of yeast tucked away in the back. My big question is: Can i still use it??? Is it still viable??? It's "use by date" was Sep 12th, but it has been in the fridge since then, so i was thinking it would be fine if i make yeast starter with it. Any Ideas??

Make a starter, it will be fine just give it an extra day
