We present photometry, polarimetry, and spectroscopy of the Type II supernova ASASSN-16ab/SN 2016B in PGC 037392. The photometric and spectroscopic follow-up commenced about 2 weeks after shock breakout and continued until nearly 6 months. The light curve of SN 2016B exhibits intermediate properties between those of Type IIP and IIL. The early decline is steep (1.68 +/- 0.10 mag 100 d(-1)), followed by a shallower plateau phase (0.47 +/- 0.24 mag 100 d(-1)). The optically thick phase lasts for 118 d, similar to Type IIP. The Ni-56 mass estimated from the radioactive tail of the bolometric light curve is 0.082 +/- 0.019 M-circle dot. High-velocity component contributing to the absorption trough of H alpha and H beta in the photospheric spectra are identified from the spectral modelling from about 57-97 d after the outburst, suggesting a possible SN ejecta and circumstellar material interaction. Such high-velocity features are common in the spectra of Type IIL supernovae. By modelling the true bolometric light curve of SN 2016B, we estimated a total ejected mass of similar to 15 M-circle dot, kinetic energy of similar to 1.4 foe, and an initial radius of similar to 400 R-circle dot.
