You can check the Magento version at the bottom-right corner of each backend page:

You can also see it in the root composer.json file:

magento/magento2/blob/2.0.1/composer.json#L5


{
    "name": "magento/magento2ce",
    "description": "Magento 2 (Community Edition)",
    "type": "project",
    "version": "2.0.1",
    "license": [
        "OSL-3.0",
        "AFL-3.0"
    ],
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://repo.magento.com/"
        }
    ],
