Consistence is friable or firm. Reaction ranges from moderately acid through slightly alkaline. Some pedons have a BC horizon up to 12 inches thick with colors and texture similar to the B horizon. The C horizon has hue of 5YR through 5Y or is neutral, and has value of 3 through 6, and chroma of 0 through 6. Texture of the fine-earth fraction is dominantly very fine sandy loam, silt loam or silty clay loam, but has stratified layers ranging from fine sand to clay.
Reaction ranges from neutral to moderately alkaline.
Pedons underlain with glacial till have a 2C horizon. The Barcelona series are in the same family. Barcelona soils have bedrock between 40 and 60 inches. Bromer soils have a thicker sola. The Lauer and Lieber soils have the base of the argillic deeper than 40 inches.
