Reaction is very strongly acid to moderately acid. Areas that have been limed range to slightly acid. The Bw horizon has hue of 7.5YR or 10YR, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 3 to 8. In some pedons, subhorizons of uncoated sand grains have matrix with chroma of 2. Texture is commonly fine sandy loam, sandy loam, loamy fine sand or loamy sand, and less commonly loam or sand.
Structure is weak, very fine to coarse, subangular blocky, granular or platy.
