A friend got this when he heard operations were closing down and got (snuck?) some to me, I guess for the novelty of it.
This is pretty typical stuff and meets expectations for the style beginning with the appearance. It's a pale yellow, bright and clear, with a fizzy pure white head that dies off pretty quickly but keeps some edges and leaves extremely light spotting.
Similar to your usual with a little sweetish malts, some huskiness, and a vague hint of leaf, but with perhaps something slightly earthier to it. It has a smell and taste of spent grains that linger as well.
Watery, crisp, and with just a little more to the body than soda, the mouthfeel is most typical.

White Bull Lager (owned by SABMiller) is the first beer produced in the new country of South Sudan, and is considered its national beer.
The beer is pretty standard fare for an American (or perhaps Australian) palate used to the lagers brewed 50 years ago and still mass-marketed everywhere. It’s been a while since I’ve had any of those, so I can’t pinpoint the brand it resembles the most. If your taste in beer is like mine, they all taste pretty much the same, and you’d be apt to lump White Bull in with the lot of them.
Appearance: Golden, quite carbonated, with a light head that dissolves quickly and leaves very little lacing
Smell: Typical lager aroma: Bud-like, or perhaps more like Foster’s
Taste: Malty, dry, with some noble hop crispness. More flavor depth than mass-market lagers, but nothing that distinctive. There’s corn in the grain bill, perhaps. Sugar is included on the label as an ingredient. The beer is safe, no doubt, for the South Sudan market.
Mouthfeel: Watery and quenching. When was the last time YOU tasted Nile River water?
Overall: A collector’s beer – not one to seek out for its distinction, but neat to say you’ve had one or two
