If it still tastes good, just package and carbonate it and drink it.
Maybe throw in some dry hops for a week before doing so? It's not like you're in a rush at this point.

What is the gravity? If some sugars left behind, you could pitch some Brett..........Be cautious though. Do some research.
Or, distill it

This^^^^^^^.
If it tastes old and oxidized, then dump it. It's only beer.
