On tap at Bonanza Bar & Grill, Skagway, AK. This was poured into a pint glass. The appearance had a fairly decent golden color with slight transparencey letting a light carbonation to be seen rising. Bar pour yields no head. The smell had a fairly decent floral honey-ish sweet maltiness. Light floral hops float about under my nose. The taste was basically the same with a slight harsher floral perhaps bitter quality to come about. On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was mild and soft and actually not bad for the style. Overall, not bad, I could see myself having this again.

I had this in a pint glass.
The appearance was pure gold with a slight transparency about it. Streams of carbonation were seen rising to fill a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute. Light lacing stuck nicely around the glass.
The smell was sweet with the honey and I could definitely get the banana as well.
The taste was sweet with the honey and banana. The aftertaste was sweet and slightly refreshing with the banana and honey. There was a long sweet banana finish.
The mouthfeel was light and refreshing. I'd say this was fairly sessionable. The carbonation was good as a Blonde ale and good for me. It comes across smooth with the honey rolling over my tongue.
Overall, good blonde ale, definitely worthy of having again.
