Sour cream offset with acid, nothing less (9)

I believe the answer is:

disaffect

'sour' is the definition.
(both can mean to alienate or dissatisfy)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Another definition for disaffect that I've seen is " Alienate".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
