No, it's way better than American 2-row. Crisp is one of my favorite UK maltsters. The barley is fatter, the malt is tastier, toastier, and has more sweetness and depth of flavor than domestic 2-row. If you like any of those characteristics, give it a try.
When I started all-grain homebrewing many years ago the Crisp malt was not available on the homebrew market. Lucky for me my LHBS guy back then had worked with someone who had distribution rights on Crisp and he was able to carry it in his store. Crisp is now readily available to homebrewers. Try it.
