While trying to check the groovy version during gradle runtime, I found you can also print the Groovy version:

task version { 
  doLast {
    println "Gradle version: " + project.getGradle().getGradleVersion()
    println "Groovy version: " + GroovySystem.getVersion()
  }
}

As examples:

$ ~/usr/gradle-1.8/bin/gradle -q version
Gradle version: 1.8
Groovy version: 1.8.6

$ ~/usr/gradle-2.1/bin/gradle -q version
Gradle version: 2.1
Groovy version: 2.3.6

Note.- GroovySystem.getVersion() is available since Groovy 1.6.9
