Even if it was just water your beer would be pretty diluted...I can't imagine it would taste good..not to mention the risks with the starsan concentration... I would either dump it or brew another batch(more concentrated wort), mix them, and re-keg, but that is just me. I don't even have a wife or kids to worry about.
 
Just so everyone understands...

There was about 1.25 gallons that was originally the standard star san mix of .5oz per 5 gallons. So we are talking about 0.125 oz spread into about 5 gallons of beer. I do not think there is a princess on these forums that would be able to taste that. It would be different if there was more of it or if it had a strong off/bad flavor.

The worst case is that it is slightly oxidized from the freeze concentration. If it tastes fine, which I have very little doubt it will not, I would drink it up ASAP and not plan to store it long.
 
Beer will not be diluted due to freeze concentration. I actually removed more water than was added with the star san solution
 
Check out one of the prime ingredients of Coke. It's the same prime ingredient (phosphoric acid) that's in Star San. You can try to drink it but I'm kind of on the side of dumping it. Don't think it will hurt you, but what's most important, how does the beer taste?
