I believe the answer is:

scrutiny

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for inspection' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'reportedly twist beer can' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'can' could be 'tin' (both are metal containers) and 'tin' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scrutiny that I've seen before include "From close inspection" , "A careful look or examination" , "Close, careful examination" , "Critical examination" , "Intense study" .)
