I added the sugar and tightened the lubricated cap. An hour later, I topped up the pressure with an 8 gram CO2 capsule.

About 30 seconds later, the cap starts whistling.

This is it about a minute later. I put a little water on the cap to see the bubbling:

Was there just too much pressure? I'm guessing (hoping) it's not a faulty cap.
 
Glad to report back that yes, this is beer.

Thanks for all the comments above. Cap is now lubricated with plumber's grease, added about 80g more glucose, and even topped off with an 8g carbon dioxide capsule that over-pressured the keg (video of that in the post above).

Pouring the beer is now a pleasure.
