Did I screw up this river?

Blue, do you think I missed a check raise on 6th?

No sir, the way the action has played out so far, I think he'd be hesitant to bet on 6th unless he had a made flush or two pair, and in both scenarios we're behind with the possibility of getting 3-bet. Betting out on 6th is best.

Given the 3rd street action, a made flush seems pretty unlikely.

I agree...it is pretty unlikely, but still a possibility. I see players raising three-flushes all the time on 3rd street, especially if they are either all high cards or connected for a straight/flush combo draw. I can readily see the villain in this case raising something like (5c6c)4c and then playing the rest of the hand as described.

It seems like you are advocating checking and folding?

I'm not "advocating" that. I think what you do on 6th street in this situation is very much dependent on your reading of the opponent. What I am advocating is another option besides betting-out to gain information and reduce the amount of ambiguity. I really hate putting more money into the pot on 6th street in highly ambiguous situations like this. (FWIW, absent any other info on villain, I probably would have checked 6th and called if he bet.)

The more I look at this hand, the more I wonder if the villain isn't rolled-up with 4s at the start. I hope BeerMoney posts the outcome.

Seat 4 had already folded before the action got back to Beer on third street.

I agree with the panel that Beer played the hand well overall, and that the river should either go check/call or bet/fold, with the former being preferable against an unknown online player.
